Abstract

The cooperative output regulation problem (CORP) is an extension of the leader-following consensus problem of multi-agent systems (MASs), and has been studied by two approaches, namely, the distributed observer (DO) approach and the distributed internal model (DIM) approach. The two approaches are, respectively, the extensions of the classical feedforward control approach and the classical internal model approach (for a single system) to the MASs. This paper overviews the CORP by the DO approach with the emphasis on linear MASs. After formulating the CORP, we present the evolution process of three types of DOs and the corresponding solutions to the CORP. Furthermore, some variants and extensions of the DO approach are also briefly surveyed for completeness.
