In this paper, to solve network delay and network tracking control problems in multi-agent system communication, a design method of network prediction controller was introduced based on state difference estimation and output tracking error. This design method not only effectively compensates for influences of network delay on the system but also ensures stability of the closed-loop system and realizes the same tracking performance among multi-agents. The effectiveness of the proposed method was proven by simulation experiment.The key innovation in the paper is that the influence of network delay on the system was actively compensated and a network prediction tracking control mechanism was proposed to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system.The proposed method achieved the same tracking with the local tracking control system under certain conditions.
