Abstract:
This paper investigates the second-order bipartite consensus (BC) problems for networked robotic systems (NRSs) subject to model uncertainties and external disturbances over signed directed graphs. We have newly presented two classes of hierarchical control algorithms (HCAs) to solve the BC problems for NRSs in a more practical and challenging case of quantized-data interactions (QDIs) and time-varying transmission delays (TVTDs). By using Hurwitz criterion and Lyapunov stability argument, several sufficient conditions on control parameters are obtained and the BC performance of the regulated system is analyzed. Three examples validate the presented theoretical findings.

To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system....
Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be...

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
