Encyclopedia of Systems and Control

Abstract

This article briefly discusses the topic of multi-agent consensus under imperfect communication channels including limited data rate, additive noises, and packet dropouts. The focus is on the design of encoders, decoders, and distributed control protocols so that the multi-agent system can reach consensus.
