Abstract

Wireless sensor network, which is an important part of Cyber-physical systems, has been widely applied in the fields of artificial intelligence. However, there exist communication delays between nodes in wireless communication network, which may reduce the performance and stability of the network. In this paper, we study cooperative control of multi-agent dynamical systems with communication delays. With the hypothesis of multiple agents groups, we propose group cooperative algorithm of multi-agent systems with diverse delays. By applying generalized Nyquist criterion, we analyze the group consensus of multi-agent systems with fixed coupling weights and obtain convergence condition of group movement, which is an upper value of the communication delays, to ensue the group consensus of dynamical systems. Finally, a simulation example illustrates the effectiveness of the results.
