Fault tolerant consensus control of multi-agent systems under dynamic event-triggered mechanisms

Abstract

In this paper, the fault-tolerant consensus control (FTCC) problem is studied for multi-agent systems (MASs) with the dynamic event-triggered mechanism (DETM). To ease the communication burden, DETM governed by an additional internal dynamical variable is introduced. A novel fault-tolerant controller is presented to mitigate system performance degradation caused by failures, where a simple fault compensator is constructed through a protocol-based observer. Then, some sufficient conditions are established to examine the bounded consensus while optimizing the predetermined quadratic cost criterion. In addition, the explicit expression of the desired controller is also parameterized through orthogonal decomposition. Finally, two simulation results are made for the sake of verifying the effectiveness of the developed FTCC scheme, the fault compensation test as well as the quadratic cost one.
