摘要:
In this paper, we revisit the semi-global weighted output average tracking problem for a discrete-time multi-agent system subject to input saturation and external disturbances. The multi-agent system consists of multiple heterogeneous linear systems as leader agents and multiple heterogeneous linear systems as follower agents. We design both the state feedback and output feedback control protocols for each follower agent. In particular, a distributed state observer is designed for each follower agent that estimates the state of each leader agent. In the output feedback case, state observer is also designed for each follower agent to estimate its own state. With these estimates, we design low gain-based distributed control protocols, parameterized in a scalar low gain parameter. It is shown that, for any bounded set of the initial conditions, these control protocols cause the follower agents to track the weighted average of the outputs of the leader agents as long as the value of the low gain parameter is tuned sufficiently small. Simulation results illustrate the validity of the theoretical results.
