Distributed Output Feedback Tracking Control of Multi-agent Systems

Published: 18 February 2017 Publication History

Abstract

This study considers the distributed output feedback tracking problem for multi-agent systems with a leader in the presence of unknow uncertainties under a directed graph. In practice, velocity information may not always be measurable. To deal with the absence of velocity measurements, the distributed output feedback control law combined with the high-gain observer is designed. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed law.
