Abstract: We present some new results for consensus control of heterogeneous non-introspective agents in continuous-time.
Our results show that local reference models and their synchronization are not necessary, and the reference trajectory
needs to transmit to only one agent, and robust control can play a pivotal role in analysis and synthesis of the multi-
agent system (MAS) to achieve consensus or synchronization.
