            Abstract : 
In this paper we provide a decentralized robust control approach, which guarantees that connectivity of a multi-agent network is maintained when certain bounded input terms are added to the control strategy. Our main motivation for this framework is to determine abstractions for multi-agent systems under coupled constraints which are further exploited for the synthesis of high level plans.
