This chapter introduces a robust control design technique for linear systems with application to multiple agent (multiagent) systems. A Lyapunov approach to robust control design based on optimal control design techniques is developed. The novelty of this approach is to combine optimal control and the value set characterization to robust control design for multiagent systems with time delay. The chapter presents an approach to robust optimal control. A multiagent system can be considered as a linear system and thereby linear optimal control is used to design a controller that minimizes the trajectory tracking error as well as the energy. The chapter highlights the concepts and results to analyze the robust stability of multiagent systems. Finally, it shows the application of robust control to multiagent systems with chain topology, cyclic topology, and irregular topology.
