Time-varying group formation-tracking control for heterogeneous multi-agent systems with switching topologies and time-varying delays

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Group formation-tracking problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems (HMASs) with both switching networks and communication delays is investigated in this paper. In order to achieve different tasks, the agents are classified into various groups. The followers are allowed to realize the formation and track the trajectory of the leader in each group. Firstly, by utilizing the consensus control, an observer is proposed to estimate the state of the leader. Then, an observer-based control protocol is put forward to solve the group formation-tracking problem with both communication delays and switching networks. Moreover, an algorithm to determine the gain feedbacks is demonstrated, in the meantime, the observer's error systems as well as the group formation-tracking error systems are proved to be convergent. Finally, an example in the simulation prat is presented to verify the theoretical results.
