Exact Delay Compensation for Multi-Agent Systems
Analysis
This paper addresses a critical challenge in multi-agent systems: communication delays. It proposes a prediction-based framework to eliminate the impact of these delays, improving synchronization and performance. The application to an SIR epidemic model highlights the practical significance of the work, demonstrating a substantial reduction in infected individuals.
Key Takeaways
- •Proposes a prediction-based framework for exact delay compensation in discrete-time heterogeneous multi-agent systems.
- •Introduces predictors and distributed observers to reconstruct future state information.
- •Develops prediction-based distributed state-feedback and dynamic output-feedback controllers.
- •Demonstrates effectiveness through numerical examples and an SIR epidemic model.
- •Achieves significant reduction in infected individuals in the SIR model, highlighting practical impact.
