Abstract :
We study distributed output feedback control of a heterogeneous multi-agent system (MAS), consisting of N different continuous-time dynamic systems. Conditions on the existence of distributed output feedback control protocols are derived and a solution is proposed to synthesize the stabilizing and consensus control protocols over directed graphs. The results in this paper complement the existing ones, and are illustrated by a numerical example.
