The cooperative output tracking problem of multi-agent systems in finite time is considered. In order to enable the agents to quickly track and converge to external system within a finite time, a novel distributed output feedback control strategy based on the finite-time state observer is designed. This distributed finite-time observer can not only solve cooperative output tracking problems when the agents can not get external system signal, but also make the systems have a faster convergence and a good robustness. The stability of the system in finite time is proved based on Lyapunov function. Numerical simulations results have been provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed protocol.
