Decentralized Sliding Control of Cooperative Multi-Agent Systems Subject to Communication Delays
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates decentralized sliding mode control (SMC) of multi-agent cooperative systems when the inter-agent communication delay cannot be neglected. A new algorithm is proposed to control and maintain the cooperation objectives when large communication delays occur due to faulty network conditions. The faulty agents perform prediction of all other agents in order to perform decentralized SMC. An upper bound is also derived for the state prediction error. The new approach is applied to formation control of a group of wheeled mobile robots. Simulation results show that the proposed approach has good performance and stability properties for cases with large delay compared to centralized SMC.

Distributed Fuzzy Adaptive Sliding Mode Formation for Nonlinear Multi-quadrotor Systems
This paper suggests a decentralized adaptive sliding mode formation procedure for affine nonlinear multi-quadrotor under a fixed directed topology wherever the followers are conquered by dynamical uncertainties. Compared with the previous studies which primarily concentrated on linear single-input single-output (SISO) agents or nonlinear agents with constant control gain, the proposed method is...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Multiple Quadrotors for Transporting a Common Payload
This paper investigates the problem of controlling a team of Quadrotors that cooperatively transport a common payload. The main contribution of this study is to propose a cooperative control algorithm based on a decentralized algorithm. This strategy is comprised of two main steps: the first one is calculating the basic control vectors for each Quadrotor using Moore–Penrose theory aiming at coo...
متن کاملPhotovoltaic Microgrids Control by the Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems
This paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. Balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. The voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. Limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...
متن کاملVariable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems
In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
