“…Top-down approaches emphasize developing a macroscopic model for the whole system. For instance, population fractions associated with given tasks are represented as states, and the dynamics of the population fractions is modeled by Markov chains [12], [24]- [26] or differential equations [27]- [31]. Given a desired fraction distribution over the tasks, agents can converge to the desired status by following local decision policies (e.g., the associated rows or columns of the current Markov matrix).…”

“…This paper investigates global control of particles that have no onboard computation. This prevents us from applying controllers that require computation on the agents, as in [7]- [9]. Another control paradigm is to construct robots with physical heterogeneity so that they respond differently to a global broadcast control signal.…”

“…In this section, we introduce the probabilistic density control problem for ON/OFF agents. First, we consider the simplified model of mode-switching ON/OFF agents to demonstrate the concept and formulation that first appeared in [10]. Then, we generalize this model in the next section.…”

“…This assumption makes the initial formulation more transparent. Furthermore, this simpler model also captures an interesting interpretation of the density control problem as presented in [10], that is, ON/OFF agents are moving with the dynamics induced by the stochastic environment when they are ON and they are staying stationary when they are OFF.…”
