The distributed controller is designed based on observer state, enabling containment control of the cluster affected by DoS attacks. As a result, consensus can be achieved between leader agents and follower agents over an undirected graph. Furthermore, the tolerable frequency and duration of DoS attacks are outlined.

The dynamics of the proposed composite robotic device satisfy a standard Lagrangian structure affected by the modeling uncertainties related to the internal interconnection between joint motion and external perturbations. The set of adaptive gains included in the controller implies enforcing the finite-time convergence of the tracking error (TE) to an invariant region considering the state bounds describing the restricted motion of all joints. The application of the barrier Lyapunov stability analysis theory addresses the previously known state constraints for both devices, considering the inclusion of a time-varying gain that guarantees the ultimate boundedness of the TE even with the presence of the effect of external perturbations. The suggested controller was evaluated using a virtual representation of the composite robotic device, which showed better tracking performance (while the restrictions were satisfied) than the performances obtained with the traditional linear state feedback and first-order sliding-mode controllers with restrictions. Analyzing the mean square error and its integral confirmed the benefits of using the adaptive barrier control to satisfy the TSM form.</p>","PeriodicalId":50382,"journal":{"name":"IET Control Theory and Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cth2.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144273494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Third, a reinforcement learning component is designed to estimate and compensate for model uncertainties and external disturbances. Then, a robust finite-time scheme is constructed by integrating the nominal controller, the reinforcement learning compensating component, and the auxiliary system.

The advanced idea of matrix-separation is reflected in Lyapunov functional candidates and estimates summation terms as precisely as feasible. First, we introduce a novel summation inequality based on the matrix-separation method to provide a bound for the augmented summation that involves common state variables. An improved delay-product-type Lyapunov functional is devised by extending non-positive definite summations as separate subblocks of the state-augmented summation. Then, by using the matrix injection method to handle the cubic delay term in the functional forward difference, a delay-variation-dependent stability criterion and an extended dissipativity criterion are developed under the matrix-separation-based method. Subsequently, sufficient conditions for the control design of Lur'e-type systems are derived.
