Abstract

This paper is concerned with distributed containment maneuvering of second-order Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with non-periodic communication and actuation. The agent is subject to unmatched nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances. Event-triggered containment maneuvering control methods is developed based on a modular design. Specifically, an estimator module is constructed based on neural networks and the non-periodic obtained follower information through event-triggered communication. Next, a controller module is designed by using the identified information from the estimator module and a third-order linear tracking differentiator. An event-triggered mechanism is introduced for updating the actuator. Then, a path update law is designed based on the non-periodic leader information through event-triggered communication. The closed-loop system cascaded by the estimation subsystem and control subsystem is proved to be input-to-state stable, and Zeno behavior is excluded in the control process. The proposed method is capable of reducing the consumption of communication and actuation. A simulation example is provided to substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed event-triggered control method for distributed containment maneuvering of second-order MIMO multi-agent systems.
