Distributed event-triggered output regulation of multi-agent systems
Xiaoli Wang, Wei Ni, Zhibin Ma · International Journal of Control · 2014
Motivated by the future use of embedded microprocessors with limited resources and limited computational resources, the distributed output regulation with event-driven strategies problem of linear multi-agent systems is considered in this paper. The main task is to design distributed feedback by employing event-triggered technique for multi-agent systems such that all agents can track an active leader, and/or distributed disturbance rejection. Both leader and disturbance are generated by some external system (exosystem). Both distributed static and dynamic feedback with event-triggered strategy are constructed here. Then, the input-to-state stability of the closed-loop multi-agent system is analysed. Finally, a numerical example is given to validate the proposed control.
