Abstract:
This paper studies the coordinated aggregation problem of a multi-agent system. Particularly, all the agents reach a consensus within a pre-specified target region. However, only a subset of agents have access to this target region, and each agent merely interacts with its neighbors by communication. Moreover, there exist unknown heterogeneous delays in communication channels. The underlying communication topology is characterized by a digraph. To accommodate the practical digital disposal, a sampled-data distributed protocol is proposed, where the sampling is asynchronous in the sense that the sampling periods of distinct agents are heterogeneous. The resulting closed-loop system from the proposed sampled-data distributed protocol is in a hybrid fashion that the continuous system is fed-back by using discrete states at sampling instants. The convergence performance of this hybrid closed-loop system is analyzed based on the contraction theory.
