Abstract
The problem of consensus for linear discrete-time networked multi-agent systems with directed topologies and communication delays is investigated in this paper. The communication delays are assumed to be constant but unknown. A consensus protocol is designed to compensate for the unknown delays based on the networked predictive control scheme. A sufficient condition for the consensus of multi-agent systems is derived. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate that the consensus protocol proposed in this paper is effective.
