Abstract
The event-triggered consensus control problem is studied for nonstrict-feedback nonlinear systems with a dynamic leader. Neural networks (NNs) are utilized to approximate the unknown dynamics of each follower and its neighbors. A novel adaptive event-trigger condition is constructed, which depends on the relative output measurement, the NN weights estimations, and the states of each follower. Based on the designed event-trigger condition, an adaptive NN controller is developed by using the backstepping control design technique. In the control design process, the algebraic loop problem is overcome by utilizing the property of NN basis functions and by designing novel adaptive parameter laws of the NN weights. The proposed adaptive NN event-triggered controller does not need continuous communication among neighboring agents, and it can substantially reduce the data communication and the frequency of the controller updates. It is proven that ultimately bounded leader-following consensus is achieved without exhibiting the Zeno behavior. The effectiveness of the theoretical results is verified through simulation studies.
