Abstract

From both theoretical and practical aspects, the problem of distributed cooperative control design for multiagent systems has received increasing attentions in recent years due to its advantages, compared with the traditional centralized systems, including more flexibility, decentralization, stronger robustness. Some practical research impacts could be utilization of multiagent systems in intelligent manufacturing (Industry 4.0), structural control systems, emergency patient transportation, robotics, for instance.

The objective of this talk is to present some challenges and recent results on distributed cooperative control systems or distributed model predictive control (DMPC) of multiagent systems for consensus, e.g. robotics, with a focus on advanced controller design strategy developments under communication control protocol. Specifically,development of the output-feedback consensus control is proposed for heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems in presence of disturbance and nonuniform sampling process, moreover, joint design of self-triggered mechanism and DMPC is addressed for unconstrained linear multi-agent systems.The talk will be concluded with some concluding remarks on both technical and practical aspects of distributed control systems for consensus problems of multiagent systems.
