Abstract
This article deals with the synchronization of heterogeneous multi-agent systems. A simple distributed control law is provided to solve the problem. The presented approach is based on the idea to ascribe the heterogeneous case to a homogeneous synchronization task, for which the solution is well known. The presented method is applicable to networks of completely different agents, even with different dimensions. Additionally, the communication effort is minimized because only the states which are to be synchronized need to be exchanged through the network. An example illustrates the efficiency of the concept
