The consensus problem of fractional-order multi-agent systems is studied in this paper. To achieve consensus, a fractional-order observer-type consensus protocol based on relative output measurements is proposed and its stability is also certified theoretically. The notion of consensus region for fractional-order dynamic is introduced and analysed. A multistep consensus protocol design procedure is presented for given consensus region. Several numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
