Abstract
This article examines the fixed-time consensus issue for a category of second-order nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) subject to actuator faults.The presence of multiple actuator faults and inherent system nonlinearities introduces substantial challenges to achieving consensus. To address these challenges, a fully distributed controller is proposed to enable the considered MASs to reach consensus. By tuning appropriate parameters, the tracking error is guaranteed to converge to a predefined bounded region within a fixed time. The control protocol incorporates adaptive parameters and requires no global network topology information, ensuring its fully distributed nature. As a result, the controller offers improved scalability and wider applicability. Finally, simulations are performed to validate the controller’s fault tolerance and distributed characteristics.
