Abstract

Within the context of ground-air cooperation, the distributed formation trajectory tracking control problems for the Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems (HMASs) is studied. First, considering external disturbances and model uncertainties, a graph theory-based formation control protocol is designed for the HMASs consisting of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs). Subsequently, a formation trajectory tracking control strategy employing adaptive Fractional-Order Sliding Mode Control (FOSMC) method is developed, and a Feedback Multilayer Fuzzy Neural Network (FMFNN) is introduced to estimate the lumped uncertainties. This approach empowers HMASs to adaptively follow the expected trajectory and adopt the designated formation configuration, even in the presence of various uncertainties. Additionally, an event-triggered mechanism is incorporated into the controller to reduce the update frequency of the controller and minimize the communication exchange among the agents, and the absence of Zeno behavior is rigorously demonstrated by an integral inequality analysis. Finally, to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed formation control protocol, some numerical simulations are presented.
