Resilient synchronization of networked robotic systems with jamming attacks

Abstract

In this project, we studied the resilient synchronization of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) subjected to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks from the control perspective. DoS attacks are set to prevent information exchange in proxy groups impose limits on their frequency and duration. An observer-based controller is distributed and used to reconstruct the agent state. We demonstrate that MAS under a DoS attack can reach consensus through the controller used. The scenario in which the DoS attack blocks the communication network accompanied by the controller and the observer simultaneously is solved, and sufficient conditions are reached to maintain MAS consensus. Lastly, a numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate the results.
