Distributed Tracking Control for Second-Order Multi-Agent Systems with Aperiodically Intermittent Position Measurements
Fuyong Wang, Zhongxin Liu, Zengqiang Chen · 2018
This article investigates the second-order distributed tracking control problem for multi-agent systems (MASs) with aperiodically intermittent position measurements. By employing a distributed filter for each follower, a novel control algorithm without velocity measurements is designed for second-order distributed consensus tracking. Some sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure that the second-order multi-agent systems can achieve consensus tracking, under the common assumption that each agent can only receive useful information of its neighbors intermittently. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to verify the theoretical analysis.
