Abstract
The paper addresses affine formation obstacle avoidance control of multi-agent systems (MASs) with unknown external disturbances. An improved disturbance observer is developed to enhance the estimation accuracy. An affine transformation and an adaptive controller are exploited to dynamically adjust formation against unknown obstructed environments. Sufficient criteria are established to achieve obstacle avoidance with zero velocity, constant velocity, and time-varying velocity, respectively. Finally, two examples are simulated to deliver the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.
期刊介绍:
Papers that do not include an element of robust or nonlinear control and estimation theory will not be considered by the journal, and all papers will be expected to include significant novel content. The focus of the journal is on model based control design approaches rather than heuristic or rule based methods. Papers on neural networks will have to be of exceptional novelty to be considered for the journal.
