Abstract
In this paper, observer-based adaptive fuzzy distributed controller is proposed for non-affine multi-agent systems with input quantization under a directed graph topology. In contrast to some existing literatures, input quantization is considered in non-affine multi-agent systems, which not only reduce the waste of resources between agents communication, but also can better represent the systems in practical engineering. Then, by applying a Nussbaum function and nonlinear decomposition, the obstacles of unknown control direction cased by non-affine and input quantization are successfully circumvented. On this basis, a state observer based on fuzzy logic systems is constructed to counteract the unmeasurable states and unknown nonlinear dynamics of non-affine multi-agent systems. Through Lyapunov stability theory based on dynamic surface control, it is proved that all signals in multi-agent systems are cooperative semi-global uniform and ultimately bounded (CSUUB). The consistency tracking error and the estimation error converge on a small neighborhood of the origin. Finally, simulation experiment show the effectiveness of the above methods.
