Distributed estimation for feedback-linearizable systems

In a multi sensor-agent network we tackle the distributed estimation problem for multi-inputs-multi-outputs feedback-linearizable nonlinear systems. Given a plant of this class, supposing that a sensors network measures its outputs, we will provide a sufficient condition to guarantee the existence of a distributed observer able to estimate the state by each single sensor. After having motivated, contextualized and formulated the problem we will prove our main result and will test its efficiency through a simulation.
