Abstract: (616 Views)
In this paper, an observer based fault-tolerant consensus control scheme for leader-follower linear multi-agent systems in the presence of simultaneous actuator faults is proposed. In this regard, we have focused on developing the performance of the cubic observer for detecting actuator faults in multi-agent systems with the goal of improving estimation accuracy and facilitating optimal performance under fault conditions. Furthermore, a distributed adaptive control law, derived from the information provided by the observer and utilizing linear matrix inequalities, is presented to stabilize the system and ensure consensus tracking of the agents despite the presence of faults. The simulation results on two systems are provided.
Keywords: Multi-agent systems, Fault-tolerant control, Leader-follower consensus, Actuator faults, Cubic observer, Linear matrix inequality.
