Finite-time consensus tracking for multi-agent systems with inherent uncertainties and disturbances
In this paper, finite-time consensus tracking is investigated via time-varying feedback for uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems (NMASs). The presence of inherent uncertainties and disturbances in the NMASs highlights the main novelty : (1) The inherent uncertainties imply that more serious unknowns and time-variations are allowed in the nonlineartities and the control coefficients of the NMASs. (2) The inherent disturbances mean that the upper bound of the disturbances is unknown. To compensate the inherent uncertainties and disturbances, time-varying protocols are proposed by integrating time-varying technique and sliding mode method. Based on the proposed protocols, the finite-time leader-following consensus and finite-time containment are achieved under directed graph. Finally, the validation of the proposed protocols is verified by two examples.
