Fully distributed adaptive fuzzy consensus control for a class of heterogeneous nonlinear output feedback systems

This paper studies the distributed output feedback consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs). The dynamics of subsystems are heterogeneous and contain unknown control gains. A novel distributed fuzzy consensus control protocol is constructed by employing variable separation technology and adaptive backstepping technique. The main advantage of the protocol is that it is distributed only depending on the relative output information. Moreover, it does not require the observer information exchange, which can avoid network attacks. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
