Distributed adaptive consensus tracking control for nonlinear multi-agent systems with state constraints

摘要

This paper investigates the consensus tracking problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems with state constraints and unknown disturbances. An observer is presented for the case that the states of each follower and its neighbors are unmeasurable. State constraint for multi-agent systems is a challenging problem. Barrier Lyapunov functions are applied in this paper to deal with this difficulty. Then based on adaptive back-stepping control approach and dynamic surface control technique, an adaptive fuzzy distributed controller is proposed to guarantee that the tracking errors between all followers and the leader converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. Moreover, it is proved that all the signals in the multi-agent systems are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SUUB). Finally, some numerical simulation results are presented to testify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
