A distributed sampled-data based protocol is proposed for the average<br />

consensus <strong>of</strong> double-integrator multi-agent systems with switching<br />

topologies and communication noises. The proposed protocol uses information<br />

from two aspects: the agent’s own state and the relative s-<br />

tates between the agent and its neighbors. Due to the existence <strong>of</strong> communication<br />

noises, the relative states cannot be obtained accurately. To<br />

deal with this difficulty, a time-varying consensus gain is employed to attenuate<br />

the noise effect. Under the proposed protocol, it is proved that<br />

sufficient conditions for ensuring mean square average consensus are:<br />

the consensus gain satisfies the stochastic approximation type condition<br />

and the communication topology graph at each sampling instant is<br />

a balanced graph with a spanning tree. Finally, a simulation example is<br />

provided to demonstrate the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the proposed consensus<br />

protocol.<br />

This paper considers the distributed tracking control problem <strong>of</strong> multiagent<br />

systems with general linear dynamics and a leader whose control<br />

input is nonzero and available to only a subset <strong>of</strong> followers. Based on<br />

the relative output information <strong>of</strong> neighboring agents, two distributed<br />

observer-based controllers with, respectively, static and adaptive coupling<br />

gains, are designed for each follower to ensure that the states<br />

<strong>of</strong> the followers asymptotically approach the state <strong>of</strong> the leader, if the<br />

communication graph among the followers is undirected, the leader has<br />

directed paths to all followers, and the leader’s control input is bounded.<br />

A sufficient condition for the existence <strong>of</strong> the distributed controllers<br />

is that each agent is stabilizable and detectable. Simulation examples<br />

are given to illustrate the theoretical results.<br />

This paper considers a tracking problem for three manipulators grasping<br />

a rigid object. The control objective is to coordinate the movements<br />

<strong>of</strong> the manipulators using local information in order to align the object<br />

attitude with a desired rest attitude and the object position with a time<br />

parameterized reference trajectory. The object rigidity is modelled as<br />

a constraint on the motion <strong>of</strong> the end-effectors saying that the distance<br />

between any pair <strong>of</strong> end-effectors must be constant in time. The control<br />

law consists <strong>of</strong> a rotational part and a translational part. The translational<br />

part also incorporates a linear observer <strong>of</strong> the reference trajectory.<br />

We prove stability and illustrate the system dynamics by simulation.<br />

This paper studies the containment control problem for uncertain linear<br />

multi-agent systems where the agents have identical nominal dynamics<br />

but subject to different norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. A new<br />

kind <strong>of</strong> distributed control protocol based only on the relative states <strong>of</strong><br />

neighboring agents is constructed for achieving containment. By using<br />

tools from nonsmooth analysis and algebraic theory, it is proved that<br />

the states <strong>of</strong> the followers will asymptotically converge to a convex hull<br />

formed by those <strong>of</strong> the leaders if for each follower there exists at least<br />

one leader that has a directed path to that follower. Finally, a simulation<br />

example is given to verify the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the theoretical results.<br />

In this paper, we investigate the group consensus <strong>of</strong> coupled harmonic<br />

oscillators with multiple leaders in an undirected fixed network. Unlike<br />

many existing algorithms for group consensus <strong>of</strong> multi-agent systems or<br />

cluster synchronization <strong>of</strong> complex dynamical networks, which require<br />

global information <strong>of</strong> the underlying network such as the eigenvalues <strong>of</strong><br />

the coupling matrix or centralized control protocols, we propose a novel<br />

decentralized adaptive group consensus algorithm for coupled harmonic<br />

oscillators. By using the decentralized adaptive group consensus<br />

algorithm and without using any global information <strong>of</strong> the underlying<br />

network, all agents in the same group asymptotically synchronize with<br />

the corresponding leader even when only one agent in each group has<br />

access to the information <strong>of</strong> the corresponding leader. Numerical simulation<br />

results are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.<br />

This paper studies synchronization via pinning control on general multiagent<br />

systems with strongly connected topologies. A criterion for reaching<br />

network synchronization on strongly connected networks is given.<br />

It is found that the vertices with very small in-degrees should be pinned<br />

first and the vertices with very large out-degrees may be pinned from<br />

the reformulated lower-order condition. Finally, a simulation example is<br />

given to verify the proposed pinning scheme.<br />

Decentralized adaptive control for a discrete-time multi-agent semiparametric<br />

uncertain dynamical system, where each agent is coupled<br />

with other agents in both parametric and nonparametric ways, is studied<br />

in this paper. Each agent can only use its history information and local<br />

information on its neighborhood agents to design its control law aimed<br />

at achieving its own local goal, i.e. tracking a local signal sequence.<br />

To deal with the co-existing parametric and nonparametric uncertainties<br />

occurred in the local couplings and the internal dynamics, an idea<br />

<strong>of</strong> information concentration is adopted with the key idea <strong>of</strong> nearestneighbor-estimation,<br />

which makes it possible to compensate well the<br />

challenging nonparametric uncertainties. With such ideas, decentralized<br />

adaptive control laws are designed based on the ”certainty equivalence”<br />

principle, and the simulations as well as preliminary theoretical<br />

discussions show that the closed-loop system for the whole multi-agent<br />

system is stable under some mild conditions on the a priori knowledge<br />
