Second-order event-triggered tracking control with only position measurements
Jiangping Hu · 2012
In this paper, a distributed tracking control is proposed for a second-order multi-agent system with an active leader, based on a decentralized event-triggered scheduling strategy and a novel distributed velocity estimation technique. The acceleration of the leader is assumed to be time-varying and partially unknown. By applying dynamic tracking control with an event-triggered strategy to the system, the ultimate boundedness stability of the tracking error is ensured by Lyapunov stability theory. Some numerical simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new approach.
