The output consensus of multi‐agent systems is investigated, where constant communication delay is present and the dynamics of the agents are heterogeneous. Based on the networked predictive control scheme, the distributed consensus protocol with dynamic output feedback controller is designed, and the sufficient conditions of the output consensus are obtained. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
