In this chapter, we investigate the possible advantages of introducing hybrid behaviors in the control of multi-agent systemsMulti-agent system. With reference to the consensusConsensus problem, two complementary settings are explored: hybrid interaction topology and hybrid linear agent dynamics. The results are then applied and further illustrated in synchronization problems for multi-robot systemsMulti-robot systems equipped with heterogeneous sensorsHeterogeneous sensors with the aim of opening toward new perspectives.
