Concurrent synchronization is a regime where diverse groups of fully synchronized dynamic systems stably coexist. We study global exponential synchronization and concurrent synchronization in the context of Lagrangian systems control. In a network constructed by adding diffusive couplings to robot manipulators or mobile robots, a decentralized tracking control law globally exponentially synchronizes an arbitrary number of robots, and represents a generalization of the average consensus problem. Exact nonlinear stability guarantees and synchronization conditions are derived by contraction analysis. The proposed decentralized strategy is further extended to adaptive synchronization and partialstate coupling.
