Cooperative Output Regulation for a Class of Nonlinear Uncertain Multi-Agent Systems Using the Backstepping Method
Ding Cai Huang, Xiang Ke Wang, Yi Feng Niu · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
The cooperative output regulation problem for a class of nonlinear uncertain multi-agent systems is considered. Based on the distributed internal model, the problem is firstly transformed into a global stabilization problem of the augmented system. Then, using the backstepping design method, a distributed control law with its stability analysis is proposed to solve the global stabilization problem of the augmented system. Finally, a numerical simulation is made to show the efficacy of the analytic results.
