A Novel Distributed Consensus Algorithms for A Class of LTI Multi-agent Systems On Directed Graphs

Consensus control of multiagent systems arises in various robotic applications such as rendezvous and formation control. For example, to compute the control inputs of individual agents, the difference in the positions in aligned coordinate frames i.e., the pairwise displacements are typically measured. However, the local coordinate frames might be subject to rotational ambiguities, such as a rotation or a reflection, particularly if the positions of the agent are not directly observed but reconstructed from e.g. pairwise Euclidean distances. This rotational ambiguity causes stability issues in practice, as agents have rotated perceptions of the environment. In this work, we conduct a thorough analysis of the stability in the presence of rotational ambiguities in several scenarios including e.g., proper and improper rotation, and the homogeneity of rotations. We give stability criteria and stability margin on the rotations, which are numerically verified with two traditional examples of consensus control.
