Distributed Tracking of Nonlinear Multiagent Systems Under Directed Switching Topology: An Observer-Based Protocol

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

“…Many scholars have made their efforts on the consensus of multiagent systems with nonlinear dynamics. For example, the consensus of nonlinear multiagent system with global Lipschitz constraint was considered by Hu et al 25 With the same assumption on nonlinear part, Wen et al 26 extended the result to switching topology case. Furthermore, other authors 21,22,27 investigated the consensus of heterogeneous nonlinear multiagent system.…”

Containment control for distributed networks subject to multiplicative and additive noises with stochastic approximation–type protocols

“…Notice that the existence of noises 8,9 is inevitable. In practical applications, the common cooperative control protocols for MASs in other works [10][11][12][13] cannot be directly applied for solving the consensus problem with communication noises. In order to deal with the negative effect of additive noise, whose intensity is independent of agents' states, a noise attenuation technique was developed based on the stochastic approximation.…”

Command filter based globally stable adaptive neural control for cooperative path following of multiple underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles with partial knowledge of the reference speed

“…This method is later applied to solve the formation control problem of autonomous surface vehicles in the presence of dynamic uncertainty and environmental disturbances in [15] . It should be noted that although the simplified formation controllers have been derived for many kinds of cooperative control of multi-agent/robot system [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]47] , the higher derivative of the reference signal is required to be known due to the NN based DSC technique, which is quite impractical in applications.…”
