Abstract:

This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect of the neighbors of each agent in the multi-agent system. Then, the proposed scheme based on the dynamic surface control approach has been presented. Stability analysis of the closed-loop system shows that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. The proposed scheme solves the consensus problem in the multi-agent systems with uncertain dynamics and avoids the "explosion of complexity" problem. The simulation results of the proposed approach are presented on a group of single-link robots with uncertain dynamics including four followers and one leader. The presented results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Adaptive Consensus Control for a Class of Non-affine MIMO Strict-Feedback Multi-Agent Systems with Time Delay

In this paper, the design of a distributed adaptive controller for a class of unknown non-affine MIMO strict-feedback multi agent systems with time delay has been performed under a directed graph. The controller design is based on dynamic surface control  method. In the design process, radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) were employed to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions.

Adaptive Neural Network Method for Consensus Tracking of High-Order Mimo Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems

This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...

Adaptive Consensus for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Dynamical Systems

This paper is concerned with adaptive consensus in multi-agent systems where each agent is dominated by an uncertain nonlinear dynamics, and adaptive controllers are presented for networks with and without time-delays, respectively. Consensus analysis is provided with Lyapunov functions for both cases, which shows that, with certain assumptions on the communication networks, consensus will be a...

Indirect Adaptive Interval Type-2 Fuzzy PI Sliding Mode Control for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

Controller design remains an elusive and challenging problem foruncertain nonlinear dynamics. Interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (IT2FLS) incomparison with type-1 fuzzy logic systems claim to effectively handle systemuncertainties especially in the presence of disturbances and noises, but lack aformal mechanism to guarantee performance. In contrast, adaptive sliding modecontrol (ASMC) provides...

Adaptive 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...
