Decision making is an important component of machine behavior. The investi-
gations on cooperative control and computing have shown that via cooperations,
a team of simple agents can perform complex tasks. In this book, we show the
design and analysis of machine behaviors from a consensus perspective. We discuss
second-order and high-order min-consensus. A very interesting topic regarding
the link between consensus and path planning is also included. We show that a
biased min-consensus protocol can lead to the path planning phenomenon, which
means that the complexity of shortest path planning can emerge from a perturbed
min-consensus protocol, which as a case study may encourage researchers in the
field of distributed control to rethink the nature of complexity and the distance
between control and intelligence
