An overview of distributed consensus of multi-agent systems with measurement/communication noises

Stochastic consensus of multi-agent systems is a main and an important research subject in distributed cooperative control. This is because the information shared in a network is always prone to some uncertainties, which can destroy the performances and the behavior of the entire system. One of these uncertainties is the measurement/communication noises. In this paper, we present an overview of the main contributions done in this field. A classification of these contributions depending on the agents´ models and the noises´ models is given. Other studies that investigate both the measurement/communication noises and other constraints simultaneously have been also reviewed.
