Consensus of Multiagent Systems With Intermittent Communication via Extended State Observer

Abstract

This brief investigates consensus of linear multi-agent systems (MASs) with unknown external disturbances under intermittent communication. First, the distributed extended observer is used to observe the relative output information and unknown disturbance. Then, distributed active disturbance rejection intermittent consensus protocol is proposed by using the observer information. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the consensus protocol.
