Abstract
In recent years, multi-agent coordination has gained significant development in theoretical research in parallel with the increasing attention in the practical applications of such systems in various areas including consensus. This paper presents a survey of recent research in consensus problems for constrained multi-agent coordination. We first focus on theoretical directions of multi-agent systems paying particular attention from the system dynamics and control algorithms perspective. Then we present several problems on constrained multi-agent coordination via consensus schemes which have gained significant attention recently. Relevant to these problems, we summarize some of the recent results on constrained multi-agent coordination via consensus schemes which appeared in the literature. Finally, this paper is concluded with existing results and some remarks on the practical direction of consensus problems developed for constrained multi-agent coordination.
