Fully Distributed Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Sliding-Mode Control for Nonlinear Leader-Following Multiagent Systems With...

In this article, by combining the skills of the pseudo-PID sliding-mode control (SMC) method with adaptive control techniques, two novel fully distributed adaptive fault-tolerant control strategies are proposed to handle the leader-following consensus problem of nonlinear multiagent systems with integral quadratic constraints (IQCs) and actuator faults, with and without asymmetric nonlinear actuator saturations (ANASs). For the no-saturation case, the designed controller has a simple structure and low computation but requires the crude information of the system model. To overcome this weakness, for the saturation case, the controller is redesigned by introducing a novel anti-windup compensator and fuzzy-logic systems (FLSs), where the problem of reducing computational complexity is also considered. The controllers only need local neighbor information instead of global topology information and ensure the practical consensus of the leader-following systems in finite time. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
