The field of cooperative control and multi-agent systems is witnessing significant developments, with a focus on enhancing safety, efficiency, and scalability in complex environments. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to address the challenges posed by heterogeneous systems, dynamic uncertainties, and coupled decision-making. A key direction is the integration of game-theoretic frameworks, reachability analysis, and distributed algorithms to ensure proactive safety guarantees and optimal control strategies. Noteworthy papers in this area include:

• Game-Theoretic Safe Multi-Agent Motion Planning with Reachability Analysis for Dynamic and Uncertain Environments, which proposes a Reachability-Enhanced Dynamic Potential Game framework for scalable and decentralized execution.
• Distributed primal-dual algorithm for constrained multi-agent reinforcement learning under coupled policies, which develops a framework for collaborative maximization of local objectives while satisfying individual safety constraints.
