In this brief paper, a new consensus protocol based on the sign of innovations is proposed. Based on this protocol each agent only requires single-bit of information about its relative state to its neighboring agents. This is significant in…

This paper addresses the task of joint multi-agent perception and planning, especially as it relates to the real-world challenge of collision-free navigation for connected self-driving vehicles. For this task, several communication-enabled…

In this paper we study multiagent models with time-varying type change. Assume that there exist a closed system of $N$ agents classified into $r$ types according to their states of an internal system; each agent changes its type by an…

In this paper, the time-varying formation and time-varying formation tracking problems are solved for linear multi-agent systems over digraphs without the knowledge of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix associated to the digraph. The…

Solving an output consensus problem in multi-agent systems is often hindered by multiple time-variant delays. To address such fundamental problems over time, we present a new optimal time-variant distributed control for linearly perturbed…

This paper addresses the problem of positive consensus of directed multi-agent systems with observer-type output-feedback protocols. More specifically, directed graph is used to model the communication topology of the multi-agent system and…

Recent progress in large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent collaboration highlights the power of structured communication in enabling collective intelligence. However, existing methods largely rely on static or graph-based inter-agent…

In a distributed algorithm, multiple processes, or agents, work toward a common goal. More often than not, the actions of some agents are dependent on the previous execution (if not also on the outcome) of the actions of other agents. The…

This paper analyzes consensus in multi-agent systems under uniform and nonuniform communication delays, a key challenge in distributed coordination with applications to robotic swarms. It investigates the convergence of a consensus…

An event-triggered control technique for consensus of multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics is presented. This paper extends previous work to consider agents that are connected using directed graphs. Additionally, the approach…

Conventional distributed approaches to coverage control may suffer from lack of convergence and poor performance, due to the fact that agents have limited information, especially in non-convex discrete environments. To address this issue,…

In this paper, we study a distributed parameter estimation problem with an asynchronous communication protocol over multi-agent systems. Different from traditional time-driven communication schemes, in this work, data can be transmitted…

Motivated by sensor networks and other distributed settings, several models for distributed learning are presented. The models differ from classical works in statistical pattern recognition by allocating observations of an independent and…

In this paper, we consider a multi-agent system consisting of mobile agents with second-order dynamics. The communication network is determined by the so-called topological interaction rule: agents interact with a fixed number of their…

In this note we investigate the problem of global exponential synchronization of multi-agent systems described by nonlinear input affine dynamics. We consider the case of networks described by undirected connected graphs possibly without…

We study the process of multi-agent reinforcement learning in the context of load balancing in a distributed system, without use of either central coordination or explicit communication. We first define a precise framework in which to study…

In this paper consensus in second-order multi-agent systems with a non-periodic sampled-data exchange among agents is investigated. The sampling is random with bounded inter-sampling intervals. It is assumed that each agent has exact…

In this paper, we consider the consensus problem of dynamical multiple agents that communicate via a directed moving neighborhood random network. Each agent performs random walk on a weighted directed network. Agents interact with each…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have a message-passing framework in which vector messages are exchanged between graph nodes and updated using feedforward layers. The inclusion of distributed message-passing in the GNN architecture makes them…

This paper studies a consensus problem in multidimensional networks having the same agent-to-agent interaction pattern under both intra- and cross-layer time delays. Several conditions for the agents to asymptotically reach a consensus are…
