Abstract:

This paper investigates the leaderless and leader-following consensus problem for a second-order multi-agent systems with input saturation, i.e., the control input is required to be priori bounded. Moreover, the control coefficients are unknown and cannot be lower or upper bounded by known constants. By virtue of adaptive control technique, Lyapunov theory, algebraic graph theory and Barbalat's lemma, it is proved that the states of the multi-agent systems can achieve consensus under the assumption that the interconnection topology is undirected and connected. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

1 Introduction

Many interesting problems arising from distributed control of multi-agent systems (MAS), such as flocking control, rendezvous control, formation control, containment control’ coverage control, etc., can all be regarded as the extended issues of consensus control. The objective of consensus problem is to design a distributed control input such that the states of a team of agents can reach an agreement by just using local information from the agents' neighbors. Recent years have witnessed an increasing attention towards the consensus problems of MAS due to its wide applications in formation control of unmanned aerial vehicles (DAVs), distributed sensor networks and attitude alignment of satellite clusters [1], [2].
