Description
Summary:This paper investigates the observer-based consensus control problem for linear parameter-varying (LPV) multi-agent systems (MASs) with unknown inputs. Firstly, an interval observer (IO) is designed to generate the state interval estimation for each agent. Secondly, an algebraic relationship is established between the system state and unknown input (UI). Thirdly, an unknown input observer (UIO) capable of generating estimates of UI and the system state has been developed through the algebraic relations. Finally, a UIO-based distributed control protocol scheme is proposed to realize the consensus of the MASs. In the end, to verify the validity of the proposed method, an example of a numerical simulation is given.
