Abstract:We solve consensus problems for networks of identical linear agents whose dynamics is unknown except for the order. We estimate the unknown dynamics via an "extended state-observer", and cancel it with a suitably designed control. The agent dynamics is thus approximated by that of an n-integrator, and standard protocols for networks of such type can then be used to achieve consensus for the network of original unknown agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
