Abstract
In this paper, a multi-sensor multi-rate (MSMR) sampling mechanism is introduced in multi-agent systems (MASs), and the output consensus problem for heterogeneous MASs with the MSMR sampling mechanism is investigated. By constructing a dynamic compensator for each agent, a new distributed control strategy that does not depend on the eigenvalue information of the Laplacian matrix is proposed. Under the proposed control strategy, the output consensus problem of heterogeneous MASs can be solved by Lyapunov stability method. Moreover, each agent’s controller design does not need continuous information of its neighbors. The proposed method in this paper is also used to deal with the state consensus problem and output consensus problem of homogeneous MASs with the MSMR sampling mechanism, respectively. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results and the advantages of the MSMR sampling mechanism in improving the control performance of the MASs.
