Abstract
In the affine formation maneuver control for multiagent systems with a leader-follower structure, external disturbances easily cause deformation of the formation shape, thereby affecting a series of cascading reactions. Hence, robustness against disturbances in affine formation control has been a subject remaining to be determined. To address this problem, a continuous robust controller is introduced in this study, leveraging the robust integral of the sign of the error (RISE) approach, aiming to suppress external disturbances while ensuring efficient convergence speed of the system under various collective formation maneuvers determined by the leader. The controller is designed to handle two types of disturbance models: one involving general disturbances and the other considering time-delay disturbances. It consists of formation tracking terms based on stress matrices and graph theory, as well as disturbance suppression terms utilizing RISE. Sufficient conditions for the stability of affine formations under both types of disturbances are derived. By designing a Lyapunov function that integrates a class-P function, the exponential stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously demonstrated. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the performance and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
期刊介绍:
This publication provides a systems-level, focused forum for application-oriented manuscripts that address complex systems and system-of-systems of national and global significance. It intends to encourage and facilitate cooperation and interaction among IEEE Societies with systems-level and systems engineering interest, and to attract non-IEEE contributors and readers from around the globe. Our IEEE Systems Council job is to address issues in new ways that are not solvable in the domains of the existing IEEE or other societies or global organizations. These problems do not fit within traditional hierarchical boundaries. For example, disaster response such as that triggered by Hurricane Katrina, tsunamis, or current volcanic eruptions is not solvable by pure engineering solutions. We need to think about changing and enlarging the paradigm to include systems issues.
