Summary: Motivated by digital communication channel, we consider the distributed output regulation problem for linear multi-agent systems with quantized state measurements. Quantizers take finitely many values and have an adjustable “zoom” parameter. Quantized distributed output regulation concerns designing distributed feedback by employing quantized technique for multi-agent systems such that all agents can track an active leader, and/or distributed disturbance rejection. With the solvability conditions satisfied, both hybrid static and dynamic feedback with quantized strategy are developed.
