Distributed NN-Based Formation Control of Multi-Agent Systems: A Reduced-Order Appointed-Time Observer Approach

Although the formation control of multi-agent systems has been widely investigated from various aspects, the problem is still not well resolved, especially for the case of distributed output-feedback formation controller design without input information exchange among neighboring agents. Using relat...

description Although the formation control of multi-agent systems has been widely investigated from various aspects, the problem is still not well resolved, especially for the case of distributed output-feedback formation controller design without input information exchange among neighboring agents. Using relative output information, this paper presents a novel distributed reduced-order estimation of the formation error at a predefined time. Based on the proposed distributed observer, a neural-network-based formation controller is then designed for multi-agent systems with connected graphs. The results are verified by both theoretical demonstration and simulation example.
