Event-triggered prescribed settling time consensus control of uncertain nonlinear multiagent systems with given transient performance

Multiagent systems (MASs) are usually used in unmanned aerial vehicle formations, multi-manipulator coordinated, traffic vehicle control and other fields, which have attracted a lot of attention from scholars. In this research, with the help of the designed performance function, the nonlinear transfor-mation of synchronization error is realized. And the synchronization error of MASs with given transient performance could converge to the predefined interval. According to the designed transformation function, a prescribed setting time consensus control is investigated with the advantages of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNNs) in dealing with unknown functions. It guarantees that the MASs under consideration are uniformly bounded convergent. Furthermore, event-triggered mechanism is applied to relieve pressure of MASs' communication resources. Simulation results demonstrate its effectiveness. (c) 2021 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
