This paper proposes a distributed control result for strong output-agreement of a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems. The nonlinear dynamics of the agents are handled by a class of nonlinear control laws. It is first proved that each controlled agent admits a positively invariant set if the outputs of the neighboring agents are bounded. Then, by showing the existence of a positively...
This paper studies the distributed nonlinear control of multi-agent systems with switching topologies for output agreement. A novel cyclic-small-gain approach is proposed. The crucial idea is to introduce a new dynamic mechanism to process the exchanged information between the agents, and to transform the distributed control problem into a stabilization problem for a dynamic network composed of input-to-output...
This paper studies the distributed nonlinear control of mobile autonomous agents with variable and directed topology. A new distributed nonlinear design scheme is presented for multi-agent systems modeled by double-integrators. With the new design, the outputs of the controlled agents asymptotically converge to each other, as long as a mild connectivity condition is satisfied. Moreover, the velocity...
