Adaptive distributed observer design for containment control of heterogeneous discrete-time swarm systems

This paper develops both adaptive distributed dynamic state feedback control law and adaptive distributed measurement output feedback control law for heterogeneous discrete-time swarm systems with multiple leaders. The convex hull formed by the leaders and the system matrix of leaders is estimated via an adaptive distributed containment observer. Such estimations will feed the followers so that every follower can update the system matrix of the corresponding adaptive distributed containment observer and the system state of their neighbors. The followers cooperate with each other to achieve leader–follower consensus and thus solve the containment control problem over the network. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness and computational feasibility of the proposed control laws.     

Event-triggered control for containment maneuvering of second-order MIMO multi-agent systems with unmatched uncertainties and disturbances

This paper is concerned with distributed containment maneuvering of second-order Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with non-periodic communication and actuation. The agent is subject to unmatched nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances. Event-triggered containment maneuvering control methods is developed based on a modular design. Specifically, an estimator module is constructed based on neural networks and the non-periodic obtained follower information through event-triggered communication. Next, a controller module is designed by using the identified information from the estimator module and a third-order linear tracking differentiator. An event-triggered mechanism is introduced for updating the actuator. Then, a path update law is designed based on the non-periodic leader information through event-triggered communication. The closed-loop system cascaded by the estimation subsystem and control subsystem is proved to be input-to-state stable, and Zeno behavior is excluded in the control process. The proposed method is capable of reducing the consumption of communication and actuation. A simulation example is provided to substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed event-triggered control method for distributed containment maneuvering of second-order MIMO multi-agent systems.     

Distributed event-triggered adaptive control for second-order nonlinear uncertain multi-agent systems

In this paper, the event-triggered consensus control problem for nonlinear uncertain multi-agent systems subject to unknown parameters and external disturbances is considered. The dynamics of subsystems are second-order with similar structures, and the nodes are connected by undirected graphs. The event-triggered mechanisms are not only utilized in the transmission of information from the controllers to the actuators, and from the sensors to the controllers within each agent, but also in the communication between agents. Based on the adaptive backstepping method, extra estimators are introduced to handle the unknown parameters, and the measurement errors that occur during the event-triggered communication are well handled by designing compensating terms for the control signals. The presented distributed event-triggered adaptive control laws can guarantee the boundness of the consensus tracking errors and the Zeno behavior is avoided. Meanwhile, the update frequency of the controllers and the load of communication burden are vastly reduced. The obtained control protocol is further applied to a multi-input multi-output second-order nonlinear multi-agent system, and the simulation results show the effectiveness and advantages of our proposed method.

Spacecraft formation-containment flying control with time-varying translational velocity

This paper investigates the problem of Spacecraft Formation-Containment Flying Control (SFCFC) when the desired translational velocity is time-varying. In SFCFC problem, there are multiple leader spacecraft and multiple follower spacecraft and SFCFC can be divided into leader spacecraft’s formation control and follower spacecraft’s containment control. First, under the condition that only a part of leader spacecraft can have access to the desired time-varying translational velocity, a velocity estimator is designed for each leader spacecraft. Secondly, based on the estimated translational velocity, a distributed formation control algorithm is designed for leader spacecraft to achieve the desired formation and move with the desired translational velocity simultaneously. Then, to ensure all follower spacecraft converge to the convex hull formed by the leader spacecraft, a distributed containment control algorithm is designed for follower spacecraft. Moreover, to reduce the dependence of the designed control algorithms on the graph information and increase system robustness, the control gains are changing adaptively and the parametric uncertainties are handled, respectively. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Periodic event-triggered formation control for multi-UAV systems with collision avoidance

In this paper, periodic event-triggered formation control problems with collision avoidance are studied for leader–follower multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Firstly, based on the Artificial Potential Field (APF) method, a novel sliding manifold is proposed for controller design, which can solve the problem of collision avoidance. Then, the event-triggered strategy is applied to the distributed formation control of multi-UAV systems, where the evaluation of the event condition is continuous. In addition, the exclusion of Zeno behavior can be guaranteed by the inter-event time between two successive trigger events have a positive lower bound. Next, a periodic event-triggered mechanism is developed for formation control based on the continuous event-triggered mechanism. The periodic trigger mechanism does not need additional hardware circuits and sophisticated sensors, which can reduce the control cost. The stability of the control system is proved by the Lyapunov function method. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control protocol.
