In this paper, the distributed fuzzy fault-tolerant tracking consensus problem of leader-follower multi-agent systems (MASs) is studied. The objective system includes actuator faults, mismatched parameter uncertainties, nonlinear functions, and exogenous disturbances under switching communication topologies. To solve problem, a controller proposed for each follower by adaptive mechanisms to tra...

This paper is devoted to the study of consensus tracking problems for multi-agent systems with nonlinear dynamics, in which dynamics of each follower consists of two terms: one is given by an inherent nonlinear dynamics and the other is a simple communication protocol relying only on the position of its neighbors. The consensus reference is taken as a virtual leader who gives only its position ...

This paper presents an analysis of the synchronization and consensus problems of networked manipulators operating on an underactuated dynamic platform in the presence of communication delays. The proposed formulation does not require detailed information about the system model. A theoretical formulation based on input-output maps of functional differential equations shows that the control syste...

We examine the $\mathcal{H}_2$ norm of matrix-weighted leader-follower consensus on series-parallel networks. By using an extension electrical network theory matrix-valued resistances, voltages and currents, we show that computation can be performed efficiently by decomposing into atomic elements composition rules. Lastly, problem adapting edge weights to optimize network.

This paper focuses on the leader–follower quasi-consensus problem of multi-agent systems, considering practical communication scenarios which involve packet loss. The phenomenon loss is described in terms rate. A novel hybrid event-triggered impulsive control strategy proposed, Lyapunov stability theory employed to derive sufficient conditions for realizing quasi-consensus, and exclusion Zeno b...

This paper considers the distributed consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general continuous-time linear dynamics. Two distributed adaptive dynamic consensus protocols are proposed, based on the relative output information of neighboring agents. One protocol assigns an adaptive coupling weight to each edge in the communication graph while the other uses an adaptive coupling weight for ...

In the exploration and implementation of formation control strategies, communication range and bandwidth limitations form a barrier to large scale formation control applications. The limitations of current formation control strategies involving a leader–follower approach and a consensus-based approach with fully available group trajectory information are explored. A unified, distributed formati...

In this work, leader follower consensus objective has been addressed with the synthesis of an event based controller utilizing sliding mode robust control. The schema has been partitioned into two parts viz. finite time consensus problem and event triggered control mechanism. A nonlinear multi agent system with non identical dynamics has been put forward to illustrate the robust capabilities of...
