N2 - This paper considers the use of homomorphic encryption for the realisation of distributed formation control of multi-agent systems via edge computer. In our proposed framework, the distributed control computation in the edge computer uses only the encrypted data without the need for a reset mechanism that is commonly required to avoid error accumulation. Simulation results show that, despite the use of encrypted data on the controller and errors introduced by the quantization process prior to the encryption, the formation is able to converge to the desired shape. The proposed architecture offers insight on the mechanism for realising distributed control computation in an edge/cloud computer while preserving the privacy of local information coming from each agent.
