Abstract: This paper summarizes the development of distributed consensus problem of multi-agent system. Several common definitions and parameters related to characteristics of consensus algorithm firstly are introduced from theoretically aspects. Consensus protocols and main results are summed up in recent years. The progresses of application about consensus algorithm are presented. Finally, the future directions of open area are proposed.

Key words: consensus algorithm, multi-agent system, distributed control
