Abstract

The problem of distributed fixed-time leader-following consensus tracking control for nonholonomic chained-form dynamic systems with nonlinear disturbances is considered in this paper. Compared with the existing works, this paper considers a class of more general nonholonomic multi-agent systems where both the leader and the followers have nonlinear uncertainties. For undirected graphs, a distributed observer for each follower is investigated such that both the leader state and input can be estimated by the followers in a fixed time. Based on the distributed observers, a consensus tracking controller is proposed to ensure that the tracking errors convergence to zero within a fixed time. Lyapunov analysis proves the stability of the closed-loop system. A simulation example of wheeled mobile robots is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.
