Leader-Following Coordination of Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems via Displacement Feedback

Abstract

This paper deals with heterogeneous second-order multi-agent consensus, for attitude coordinated control of spacecraft. A robust consensus for undirected and connected graph is shown, with dynamic weight interaction and only displacement measurements available. Leader-following coordination is proposed, with proof of internal stability. Flexible appendages, external disturbances and uncertainties are included in the model. A space maneuver is considered to show the achievement of the consensus.
