Distributed Robust Containment Control of Linear Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems: An Output Regulation Approach

摘要

In this paper, we consider the robust output containment problem of linear heterogeneous multi-agent systems under fixed directed networks. A distributed dynamic observer based on the leaders' measurable output was designed to estimate a convex combination of the leaders' states. First, for the case of followers with identical state dimensions, distributed dynamic state and output feedback control laws were designed based on the state-coupled item and the internal model compensator to drive the uncertain followers into the leaders' convex hull within the output regulation framework Subsequently, we extended theoretical results to the case where followers have nonidentical state dimensions. By establishing virtual errors between the dynamic observer and followers, a new distributed dynamic output feedback control law was constructed using only the states of the compensator to solve the robust output containment problem. Finally, two numerical simulations verified the effectiveness of the designed schemes.
