Abstract
This paper discusses consensus control for a kind of dynamical agents in network. It is assumed that the agents distributed on a plane and their location coordinates are measured by remote sensor and transmitted to its neighbors. By designing the linear distributed control protocol, it is shown that the group of agents will achieves consensus. The simulations are given to show the effectiveness of our theoretical result.
