Finite-Time Adaptive Fuzzy Event-Triggered Output-Feedback Containment Control for Nonlinear Multiagent Systems With Input Saturation

Abstract

This paper considers the finite-time containment output-feedback control problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) with unmeasurable states and input saturation. Fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) and a smooth function are first employed to model unknown agent's subsystems and input saturation, respectively. Then, a novel fuzzy state observer is established via the intermittent output signal. By introducing first-order filter and using the sampled estimating states and triggered output signals, an event-triggered mechanism consisting of the sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator is formulated. Consequently, under the framework of the finite-time stability criterion and adaptive backstepping control design technique, a finite-time adaptive fuzzy event-triggered output-feedback containment control design method is proposed and the semiglobal finite-time stability of the controlled system is rigorously proved. Finally, the simulation results are given to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
