Abstract

This paper studies consensus of a class of heterogeneous multi-agent systems composed of first-order and second-order agents with intermittent communication. For leaderless multi-agent systems, we propose a distributed consensus algorithm based on the intermittent information of neighboring agents. Some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the consensus of heterogeneous multi-agent systems in terms of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Meanwhile, the relationship between communication duration and each control period is sought out. Moreover, the designed algorithm is extended to leader-following multi-agent systems without velocity measurements. Finally, the effectiveness of the main results is illustrated by numerical simulations.
