Resilient Learning-Based Control for Synchronization of Passive Multi-Agent Systems under Attack
In this paper, we show synchronization for a group of output passive agents
that communicate with each other according to an underlying communication graph
to achieve a common goal. We propose a distributed event-triggered control
framework that will guarantee synchronization and considerably decrease the
required communication load on the band-limited network. We define a general
Byzantine attack on the event-triggered multi-agent network system and
characterize its negative effects on synchronization. The Byzantine agents are
capable of intelligently falsifying their data and manipulating the underlying
communication graph by altering their respective control feedback weights. We
introduce a decentralized detection framework and analyze its steady-state and
transient performances. We propose a way of identifying individual Byzantine
neighbors and a learning-based method of estimating the attack parameters.
Lastly, we propose learning-based control approaches to mitigate the negative
effects of the adversarial attack
Event-triggered output consensus for linear multi-agent systems via adaptive distributed observer
summary:This paper investigates the distributed event-triggered cooperative output regulation problem for heterogeneous linear continuous-time multi-agent systems (MASs). To eliminate the requirement of continuous communication among interacting following agents, an event-triggered adaptive distributed observer is skillfully devised. Furthermore, a class of closed-loop estimators is constructed and implemented on each agent such that the triggering times on each agent can be significantly reduced while at the same time the desired control performance can be preserved. Compared with the existing open-loop estimators, the proposed estimators can provide more accurate state estimates during each triggering period. It is further shown that the concerned cooperative output regulation problem can be effectively resolved under the proposed control scheme and the undesirable Zeno behavior can be excluded. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed results is verified by numerical simulations
