ABSTRACT:
In this talk, we briefly introduce the results on multi-agent systems and distributed design obtained by our group in recent years, including set coordination of multi-agent systems (MAS), distributed output regulation (DOR), and distributed Kalman filter (DKF). In the study of set coordination of MAS, we give the set input-to-state stability and related concepts and prove them for containment control of MAS with swtiching interconnection topologies, and then we discuss the set optimization by making the agents distributedly achieve the optimal consensus. As for DOR, we first show how to extend the conventional output regulation to DOR, and how we get the feedback design based on internal models. DKF is our ongoing research topic. We study the estimation of a continuous-time system with switching topology in order to give the convergence analysis and the bound related to the optimal solution.
