Leader-following consensus of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with input delays

In this paper, a leader-following consensus problem of heterogenous multi-agent system with different input delays is investigated. The heterogeneous multi-agent system is composed of first-order and second-order integrator agents. By applying the graph theory and the frequency domain analysis method, a sufficient condition is established to guarantee that each agent can track the leader when the communication topology is symmetric coupling. Simulation result is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
