Considering the unknown compound interference in manufacturing systems, finite-time tracking and synchronization performance of multi-motor system significantly affects production safety, reliability, quality, which can be considered a multi-agent with unmeasured speed uncertainty. In recent years, synchronous control schemes have grown to maturity, but research on sensorless consensus remains ...

Motivated by the Internet-of-things and sensor networks for cyberphysical systems, the problem of dynamic sensor activation for the tracking of a time-varying process is examined. The tradeoff is between energy efficiency, which decreases with the number of active sensors, and fidelity, which increases with the number of active sensors. The problem of minimizing the time-averaged mean-squared e...

At present, marine autonomous surface ships (MASSs) play a huge role in shipping, surveying and mapping, safeguarding the rights interests of space, other maritime tasks. The cooperative operation swarm MASSs can extend scope MASSs, thus allow them to carry out more complex Path tracking is an important problem for control MASSs. In this paper, underactuated decoupled, heading speed, respective...

In this brief, a type of novel fully distributed adaptive protocols is designed for achieving leader-follower multi-agents tracking. The design procedure constitutes three steps. First, local observer constructed each agent (including the leader) in virtue its own inputs and outputs, aiming to estimating that agent's state. Second, propagate estimate leader from target followers all followers, ...

Cooperative coordination in multi-agent systems has been a topic of interest networked control theory recent years. In contrast to cooperative agents, Byzantine agents network are capable manipulate their data arbitrarily and send bad messages neighbors, causing serious security issues. This paper is concerned with resilient tracking consensus over time-varying random directed graph, which cons...

In this note, we study the scaled consensus (tracking) problems, wherein all agents reach agreement, but with different assigned ratios in the asymptote. Based on the nearest neighbor-interaction rules, the scaled consensus processes are characterized with and without time delay. We consider both the signal transmission and signal processing delays and calculate the final scaled consensus value...

This paper investigates the problem of coordinated tracking of a linear multi-agent system subject to actuator magnitude saturation and dead zone characteristic with input additive uncertainties and disturbances. Distributed consensus and swarm tracking protocols are developed from a low-and-high gain feedback approach. Under the assumption that each agent is asymptotically null controllable wi...
