Abstract
This article studies the event-triggered output feedback consensus problem for a class of high-order uncertain nonlinear multiagent systems with totally unknown non-identical control directions. Firstly, the reduced-order filters are constructed by utilizing the dynamic gain technique to compensate the system uncertainties and unmeasurable states of the followers. Based on the filter states and output information, the asymptotic output consensus result is guaranteed with the developed distributed adaptive output feedback control protocol, while the inherent issue “complexity explosion” in backstepping design is avoided. Then, to solve the interaction of multiple Nussbaum functions in a single inequality, the Nussbaum functions with different frequencies are adopted, with which the unknown directions of multiagent system are no longer limited in identical. In addition, we propose a dynamic triggering strategy with time-varying threshold parameters to reduce the updates of controller without Zeno phenomenon. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of theoretical algorithm.
