Cooperative Control for Uncertain Multiagent Systems via Distributed Output Regulation

Abstract EN

The distributed robust output regulation problem for multiagent systems is considered.

For heterogeneous uncertain linear systems and a linear exosystem, the controlling aim is to stabilize the closed-loop system and meanwhile let the regulated outputs converge to the origin asymptotically, by the help of local interaction.

The communication topology considered is directed acyclic graphs, which means directed graphs without loops.

With distributed dynamic state feedback controller and output feedback controller, respectively, the solvability of the problem and the algorithm of controller design are both investigated.

The solvability conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).

It is shown that, for polytopic uncertainties, the distributed controllers constructed by solving LMIs can satisfy the requirements of output regulation property.
