“…Accounting for dynamics exchange between agents, the work of Ren (2009) proposed a distributed, leaderless and model-independent asymptotical consensus algorithm for networked Euler-Lagrange systems with saturation constraints. Detailed analysis of asymptotical consensus algorithms under bounded inputs was investigated in Ni, Xiong, and Yang (2013) for both fixed and switching network topologies.…”

In recent years, multi-agent coordination has gained significant development in theoretical research in parallel with the increasing attention in the practical applications of such systems in various areas including consensus. This paper presents a survey of recent research in consensus problems for constrained multi-agent coordination. We first focus on theoretical directions of multi-agent systems paying particular attention from the system dynamics and control algorithms perspective. Then we present several problems on constrained multi-agent coordination via consensus schemes which have gained significant attention recently. Relevant to these problems, we summarize some of the recent results on constrained multi-agent coordination via consensus schemes which appeared in the literature. Finally, this paper is concluded with existing results and some remarks on the practical direction of consensus problems developed for constrained multi-agent coordination.

“…In this problem, there exist some agents playing the roles of the leaders while the others as the followers and the objective is to design distributed controllers for the followers using only local information to track the trajectories of the leaders. Many useful results have been reported on this topic regarding different agent dynamics and communication topologies (Mei, Ren, & Ma, 2011;Ni, Xiong, & Yang, 2013;Wen, Duan, Yu, & Chen, 2012;Wen, Hu, Yu, Cao, & Chen, 2013;Wen, Peng, Rahmani, & Yu, 2014;Xu, Cao, & Yu, 2014), to just name a few.…”

In this paper, we study the leader-following control problem for second-order integrator systems with bounded input disturbances using only binary relative position and velocity information. The leader is allowed to be dynamically evolving with a bounded acceleration which is unknown to any of the followers. With the proposed distributed controller, we prove that despite the fact that only very coarse relative information is available, robust finite-time leader-following control can be achieved by properly choosing the control gains. As an extension, robust finite-time formation control can also be achieved with the proposed control strategy using only binary relative information. Two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the results.

“…Many interesting works, such as Hong, Hu, and Gao (2006), Hu and Hong (2007), Gao, Zhang, and Chen (2012), Gao, Zhu, and Chen (2012), Zhang, Chen, and Yu (2012) and Pan, Nian, and Guo (2012), have discussed the second-order consensus. Recently, the high-order consensus problems have been investigated (Ni & Cheng, 2010;Ni, Xiong, & Yang, 2013;Seo, Shim, & Back, 2009;Wang et al, 2011;Xiao & Wang, 2007, Cheng, Hou, & Tan, 2014 have been investigated. Many consensus-related research topics have also been addressed, such as consensus filtering, distributed computation, flocking, formation control, neural networks, swarm stability, impulsive consensus, time-delay and so on * Corresponding author.…”

Intermittent observer-based consensus control for multi-agent systems with switching topologies

In this paper, we focus on the consensus problem for leaderless and leader-followers multi-agent systems with periodically intermittent control. The dynamics of each agent in the system is a linear system, and the interconnection topology among the agents is assumed to be switching. We assume that each agent can only share the outputs with its neighbours. Therefore, a class of distributed intermittent observer-based consensus protocols are proposed for each agent. First, in order to solve this problem, a parameter-dependent common Lyapunov function is constructed. Using this function, we prove that all agents can access a prescribed value, under the designed intermittent controller and observer, if there are suitable conditions on communication. Second, based on the investigation of the leader-following consensus problem, we design a new distributed intermittent observer-based protocol for each following agent. Finally, we provide an illustrative example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
