Description
Summary:Distributed networked control systems (D-NCSs) are more vulnerable to malicious attacks with the adoption of distributed control strategies. The misbehaving agents in the D-NCS can disrupt the distributed control algorithms and gradually compromise the entire system. In this paper, a multirobot system using the linear consensus algorithm for formation control is studied where parts of the robots are compromised. A reputation-based secure distributed control methodology with built-in defense is proposed to achieve accurate consensus computation in the presence of misbehaving robots. It embeds four phases (i.e., detection, mitigation, identification, and update) into the distributed control process. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through simulation analysis and experimental results.
