Cooperative Adaptive Fuzzy Control of High-Order Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems with Unknown Dynamics

Abstract

This paper focuses on the cooperative adaptive fuzzy control of high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems. The communication network is a undirected graph with a fixed topology. Each agent is modeled by a high-order integrator incorporating with unknown nonlinear dynamics and an unknown disturbance. Under the backstepping framework, a robust adaptive fuzzy controller is designed for each agent such that all agents ultimately achieve consensus. Moreover, these controllers are distributed in the sense that the controller design for each agent only requires relative state information between itself and its neighbors. A four-order simulation example demonstrates the effectiveness of the algorithm.
