Distributed node-to-node consensus for a class of multi-agent systems with Lur'e node dynamics and fixed directed topology is investigated in this paper. The multi-agent systems in the present framework consist of two levels, i.e., the leader's level and the follower's level, where the control goal is to find some linear coupling laws such that each follower can asymptotically track its corresponding leader. By using S-procedure and appropriately constructing a Lyapunov function, it is theoretical shown that distributed node-to-node consensus in the closed-loop multi-agent systems with the suitably designed coupling laws can be achieved if the carefully selected followers can directly sense their corresponding leaders.
