In this paper, the output regulation of multi-agent systems over signed digraphs is discussed. We consider antagonistic interactions among subsystems and propose a distributed feedback paradigm to achieve the output regulation goal. The reference and disturbance signals are produced by exosystems, which can be considered as a leader. However, not all subsystems have access to the information of the leader for constructing a feedback law to achieve the output regulation objective. The paper presents a distributed feedback strategy that makes all subsystems track the reference signal in a bipartite manner while rejecting the inflicted disturbance. Finally, the theoretical findings of this paper are validated through a numerical example.
