Distributed output regulation of leader–follower multi-agent systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, distributed leader–follower control algorithms are presented for linear multi-agent systems based on output regulation theory and internal model principle. By treating a leader to be followed as an exosystem, the proposed framework can be used to generalize existing multi-agent coordination solutions to allow the identical agents to track an active leader with different dynamics and unmeasurable variables. Moreover, the obtained results for multi-agent coordination control are an extension of previous work on centralized and decentralized output regulation to a distributed control context. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the distributed output regulation problem are given. Finally, distributed output regulation of some classes of multi-agent systems with switching interconnection topologies are discussed via both static and dynamic feedback.

متن کاملFully Distributed Adaptive Output Feedback Protocols for Linear Multi-Agent Systems with Directed Graphs: A Sequential Observer Design Approach
This paper studies output feedback consensus protocol design problems for linear multi-agent systems with directed graphs. We consider both leaderless and leader-follower consensus with a leader whose control input is nonzero and bounded. We propose a novel sequential observer design approach, which makes it possible to design fully distributed adaptive output feedback protocols that the existi...
متن کاملAdaptive Leader-Following and Leaderless Consensus of a Class of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks
This paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. The agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. A distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. The structures of the contro...
متن کاملDistributed event-triggered tracking control of leader-follower multi-agent systems with communication delays
As embedded microprocessors are applied widerly to multi-agent systems, control scheduling and time-delay problems arose in the case of limited energy and computational ability. It has been shown that the event-triggered actuation strategy is an effective methodology for designing distributed control of multi-agent systems with limited computational resources. In this paper, a tracking control ...
متن کاملIterative learning control approach for a kind of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with distributed initial state learning
In this paper, leader–follower coordination problems of a kind of heterogeneous multi-agent systems are studied by applying iterative learning control (ILC) scheme in a repeatable control environment. The heterogeneous multi-agent systems are composed of first-order and second-order dynamics in two aspects. The leader is assumed to have second-order dynamics and the trajectories of the leader a...
