Event Triggered Multi-Agent Consensus of DC Motors to Regulate Speed by LQR Scheme

In the presented paper, the leader-following consensus algorithm of a multi-agent system (MAS) is used along with the centralized event-triggering scheme to make the speed of the network-coupled multiple-motors synchronizable. In the proposed method, the updates for the controller are event-driven based on local information. Moreover, the basic consensus protocol is also revised such that the speed information of the motors is used in order to reach identical speed. The main benefit of the planned event-triggered methodology is the energy saving by avoiding the continuous control of the system. As far as stability analysis of the system is concerned, a common Lyapunov function is incorporated to validate stability. The acquired results endorse the success of the proposed methodology
