Abstract
This paper presents a novel leader-follower consensus control for a particular class of nonlinear multi-agent mechanical systems in the presence of control input constraints and external disturbances which includes robot system dynamics with a wide range of potential applications in industry. In this case, one of the agents is selected as the leader to direct the other agents in such a way that the whole system can reach consensus within certain prescribed performance transient bounds. Due to the presence of disturbances in most practical systems, the effect of limited disturbance in the consensus control method has been investigated, and actuator saturation is included in the design process. A terminal sliding mode control method has been adapted to ensure the stability of the overall system and fast finite-time leader-follower consensus control. The simulation results of the multi-agent nonlinear robot system in MATLAB environment, in different scenarios with simultaneous consideration of actuator saturation and external disturbance, will show the efficiency of the proposed control method.
