Abstract

This paper studies the tracking control problem of multi-agent systems where each agent has homogeneous sensor and heterogeneous dynamic system, the moving target has unknown periodic input signal and the unknown periodic input can be modelled as a finite dimensional Fourier decomposition. Since some agents can not detect the target, a distributed estimation based tracking control algorithm is applied. We first design a consensus based distributed observer to estimate the state and the unknown periodic input of the system from the available measurement outputs. Leader-follower consensus protocol is applied, and the stability condition of the estimation errors is given. Then, based on the estimations, a model reference adaptive control (MRAC) algorithm is adopted to design the tracking controller. It is proved that under the proposed distributed estimation based tracking control algorithm, each agent can asymptotically track the target. A numerical simulation is given to prove the feasibility of the algorithm in this paper.
