Abstract—In multi-agent robotic systems, communication plays a key role in achieving coordinated behavior. This paper studies a consensus-based framework for networked multiagent system where communication topology is described by using adjacency and Laplacian matrices. The analysis investigates the importance of communication performance and how it can affect system performance and stability. We demonstrate that the introduction of discrete-time delays impairs system convergence and compromises the stability of Versatile Intelligent Portable Robot (VIPRO) interfaces. These findings are relevant for applications that require precise coordination and emphasize the importance of communication when designing multi-agent robot systems.
Keywords—multi-agent systems, communication, stability and performance of networked multi-agent, consensus, versatile, intelligent, portable robot control
