Abstract

This brief addresses the distributed consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems under a general directed communication topology. Each agent is governed by higher-order dynamics with mismatched uncertainties, multiple completely unknown high-frequency gains, and external disturbances. The main contribution of this brief is to present a new distributed consensus algorithm, enabling the control input of each agent to require minimal information from its neighboring agents, that is, only their output information. To this end, a dynamic system is explicitly constructed for each agent to generate a reference output. Theoretical and simulation verifications of the proposed algorithm are rigorously studied to ensure that asymptotic consensus can be achieved and that all closed-loop signals remain bounded.
