Distributed-observer-based robust H_∞ consensus control for multi-agent systems under switching topologies

Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Negative Imaginary Systems with Applications to UAVs, Including Hardware Implementation Results

“…field over the last two decades [16]. Pioneering research on formation and containment control schemes for first-order and second-order MAS was developed in [17] and [18]. Since then, several contributions have been made in this domain.…”

Observer‐based consensus control for multi‐agent systems with measurement noises and external disturbances

“…Remark 7. The observer-based leaderless consensus problem studied in the related literature 18,19,22 merely consider the undirected communication topology. Furthermore, in Reference 40, the sufficient conditions are derived for reaching consensus in multi-agent systems with undirected and directed topologies, respectively, and it is required that the system model of agent has no eigenvalues on the imaginary axis.…”

“…The observers we design are local, that is, each agent estimates its own state using the output measurement of itself only so as to require less computations and communication cost compared with the existing work. [15][16][17][18][19][20] 3) The problem of observer-based consensus is transformed into an asymptotical stability problem via a linear transformation. Then, linear matrix inequality (LMI) algorithm is proposed to design appropriate control and observer gains.…”
