Adaptive cooperative tracking control of uncertain nonlinear multiagent systems with uncertain Markov switching communication graphs

Abstract

This paper deals with the cooperative tracking problem of nonlinear multiagent systems. Compared with the existing works, both the uncertainties in model and switching topology are considered. Two control laws, the adaptive distributed controller based on state information and the adaptive distributed controller based on output information, are proposed using the neural networks.The advantage of the proposed controller is that we no longer require the exact knowledge of follower agents' parameters and the precise switching signal of communication topology by taking advantages of neural networks approximation and the property of transition probabilities. It is proved that all followers can track the leader with permitted bounded errors under the proposed controller.An illustration is given to testify the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Adaptive cooperative control for air‐ground systems with actuator saturation under disturbances

“…In Figure 4, the bidirectional signal connection is composed of the tracking for the ground vehicle (5), the coordination for the ground vehicle (5) and the coordination for the quadrotor (6). Specifically, the most important component of the bidirectional signal connection is shown as Figure 2B in which the ground vehicle (5) cooperates with the quadrotor (6) by tracking the virtual target position of the ground vehicle (5).…”

“…5 Note that cooperative control has attracted much attention for its broad application prospects and huge commercial potential in trajectory tracking. 6,7 Compared with traditional trajectory tracking, cooperative control has stricter requirements in tracking accuracy and synchronous degree which improve control effects of trajectory tracking. 6 In Reference 7, a saturation law with anti-trigonometric functions is adopted in cooperative control to achieve desired tracking effects for a leader-follower quadrotor system.…”

Synchronization of semi-Markovian switching complex networks with partial unknown transition rates via event-triggered control

“…Many articles on Markovian systems have been reported. 13–17 However, the sojourn time of a Markov jump system needs to follow an exponential distribution, which is a memoryless distribution. Moreover, the transition probability is invariable.…”

Multi-Group Formation Tracking Control for Second-Order Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems Using Adaptive Neural Networks

“…As one of the most active and attractive research topics in the coordinated control for MASs, formation control has received increasing attention in the last two decades because of its wide applications in practical systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. MASs are composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents which generate complex cluster behaviors through local information interaction.…”
