In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...

this paper studies the consensus problem of nonlinear leader-following multi-agent systems (mas). to do this, the error dynamics between the leader agent and follower ones are described via a takagi-sugeno (ts) fuzzy model. if the obtained ts fuzzy model is stable, then all of the nonlinear agents reach consensus. the consensus problem is investigated based on the parameterized or fuzzy lyapuno...

This paper studies output feedback consensus protocol design problems for linear multi-agent systems with directed graphs. We consider both leaderless and leader-follower consensus with a leader whose control input is nonzero and bounded. We propose a novel sequential observer design approach, which makes it possible to design fully distributed adaptive output feedback protocols that the existi...

We consider the leader-follower multiagent systems in which the leader executes the desired trajectory and the followers implement the consensus algorithm subject to stochastic disturbances. The performance of the leader-follower systems is quantified by using the steady-state variance of the deviation of followers from the leader. We study the asymptotic scaling of the variance in directed lat...

This paper presents an adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme for leader-follower consensus control of uncertain mobile agents with actuator faults. A local FTC component is designed for each agent in the distributed system by using local measurements and certain information exchanged between neighboring agents. Each local FTC component consists of a fault detection module and a reconfigu...

In this work, we study a leader-follower consensus protocol where both leaders and followers negotiate their states over a stochastically-switching network. The model incorporates the phenomenon of numerosity, which limits the perception of exact numbers. We derive a closed form expression for the asymptotic convergence factor that provides a necessary and sufficient condition for convergence a...

In this paper, leader–follower coordination problems of a kind of heterogeneous multi-agent systems are studied by applying iterative learning control (ILC) scheme in a repeatable control environment. The heterogeneous multi-agent systems are composed of first-order and second-order dynamics in two aspects. The leader is assumed to have second-order dynamics and the trajectories of the leader a...
