Observer-based synchronization with relative measurements and unknown neighbour models
Jingbo Wu, Valery Ugrinovskii, Frank Allgöwer · 2016
In heterogeneous multi-agent systems, a common assumption is that the agents are able to measure their individual output, which only depends on their individual state. In our recent work on observer-based synchronization, we have relaxed this assumption by introducing distributed observers, which enable synchronization only relying on relative measurements, and thereby guarantee ℋ∞-type performance with respect to disturbances. One assumption however, is that every agent possesses models of its neighbours. This paper presents a novel method, where no exact model on the neighbours is needed.
