چکیده
In this paper, we investigate coordination of a network of second-order dynamic agents under communication delays. Based on the frequency-domain analysis and matrix theory, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the system converging to stationary consensus and dynamic consensus are obtained, respectively. The conditions depend on the communication delay, the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix, and the interconnection topology of the network. Moreover, we apply the consensus algorithm to the formation control of the multi-agent system with communication delays. The agents in the system can achieve arbitrary desired formation pattern, and the formation moves in a desired velocity. Simulation results illustrate the correctness of the results.

Connectivity-Preserving Coordination Control of Multi-Agent Systems with Time-Varying Delays
This paper presents a distributed position synchronization strategy that also preserves the initial communication links for single-integrator multi-agent systems with time-varying delays. The strategy employs a coordinating proportional control derived from a specific type of potential energy, augmented with damping injected through a dynamic filter. The injected damping maintains all agents wi...

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
متن کاملTeleoperation of multi-agent systems with nonuniform control input delays
Consensus and coordination of multiple teleoperated agents has been a control topic of growing interest over the last decade due, in part, to its many potential applications and related complex challenges. One of these challenges is to guarantee stability and motion coordination in the presence of inherent communication and input delays as well as system nonlinearities in the multi-agent system...
متن کاملA new virtual leader-following consensus protocol to internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles with generic network topology under communication and parasitic delays
In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...

This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...
