Quantized effects on robust consensus of linear multi-agent systems via sliding-mode control

Abstract

In this paper, the analysis of quantized effect on robust distributed consensus of linear uncertain multi-agent systems(MASs) via sliding-mode control(SMC) is investigated. Two kinds of phenomena on input quantization, including quantization mismatch and quantization measurement saturation, are analyzed. It shows that robust distributed consensus of linear uncertain MASs via SMC strategy might not be well achieved when the two kinds of quantization phenomena are ignored in the control design. Several research ideas for quantized feedback robust consensus via SMC strategy are finally discussed.
