The paper is devoted to the approximate consensus problem for networks of nonlinear agents with switching topology, noisy and delayed measurements. In contrast to the existing stochastic approximation-based control algorithms (protocols), a…
This paper considers the distributed consensus problems for multi-agent systems with general linear and Lipschitz nonlinear dynamics. Distributed relative-state consensus protocols with an adaptive law for adjusting the coupling weights…
We present two main theorems along the lines of Lyapunov's second method that guarantee asymptotic state consensus in multi-agent systems of agents in R^m with switching interconnection topologies. The two theorems complement each other in…
In this paper the problem of driving the state of a network of identical agents, modeled by boundary-controlled heat equations, towards a common steady-state profile is addressed. Decentralized consensus protocols are proposed to address…
This paper addresses the problem of collaboratively satisfying long-term spatial constraints in multi-agent systems. Each agent is subject to spatial constraints, expressed as inequalities, which may depend on the positions of other agents…
In this note, the problem of simultaneous leader-following consensus and parameter estimation is studied for a class of multi-agent systems subject to an uncertain leader system. The leader system is described by a sum of sinusoids with…
In this work, we study the consensus problem in which legitimate agents send their values over an undirected communication network in the presence of an unknown subset of malicious or faulty agents. In contrast to former works, we…
The distributed coordination problem of multi-agent systems is addressed in this paper under the assumption of intermittent communication between agents in the presence of time-varying communication delays. Specifically, we consider the…
Consensus of autonomous agents is a benchmark problem in multi-agent control. In this paper, we consider continuous-time averaging consensus policies (or Laplacian flows) and their discrete-time counterparts over time-varying graphs in…
Distributed averaging of agent initial conditions is a well-studied problem in context of networked systems where coordination amongst the agents is of paramount importance. The asymptotic nature of convergence of distributed averaging…
This work presents a decentralized time synchronization algorithm for multi-agent systems. Each agent possesses two clocks, a hardware clock that is perturbed by environmental phenomena (e.g., temperature, humidity, pressure, g forces,…
As multi-agent networks grow in size and scale, they become increasingly difficult to synchronize, though agents must work together even when generating and sharing different information at different times. Targeting such cases, this paper…
In this paper, the optimal consensus problem for general nonlinear multi-agent systems is studied, where both leaderless and leader-follower cases are considered in a unified framework. The key idea is to convert consensus problems into…
This paper presents a consensus-based formation control strategy for autonomous agents moving in the plane with continuous-time single integrator dynamics. In order to save wireless resources (bandwidth, energy, etc), the designed…
In this paper we propose a novel consensus protocol for discrete-time multi-agent systems (MAS), which solves the dynamic consensus problem on the max value, i.e., the dynamic max-consensus problem. In the dynamic max-consensus problem to…
In this paper, we first study the leader-following output synchronization problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems over jointly connected switching networks. Our approach integrates the output-based adaptive…
This paper investigates a robust positive consensus problem for a class of heterogeneous high-order multi-agent systems subject to external inputs. Compared with existing multi-agent consensus results, the most distinct feature of the…
This paper proposes a new architecture for multi-agent systems to cover an unknowingly distributed fast, safely, and decentralizedly. The inter-agent communication is organized by a directed graph with fixed topology, and we model agent…
In this paper, for any homogeneous system of agents with linear continuous time dynamics, we formulate an optimal control problem. In this problem a convex cost functional of the control signals of the agents shall be minimized, while the…
The consensus problem for multi-agent systems with quantized communication or sensing is considered. Centralized and distributed self-triggered rules are proposed to reduce the overall need of communication and system updates. It is proved…
