Cooperative adaptive fault-tolerant control for multi-agent systems with deception attacks

The fault tolerant control problem for multi-agent systems with deception attacks and actuator faults is studied in this paper. Under deception attacks, the false data will be injected to communication channels, and change the transmittal signals. It is extremely difficult to ensure synchronization control of multi-agent systems with deception attacks and actuator bias faults by using the existing fault-tolerant control methods. A novel distributed adaptive fault tolerant controller is constructed in physical layer, and a distributed impulsive controller is proposed to deal with deception attacks in communication layer. It is proved that the proposed fault-tolerant controller guarantees the synchronization of multi-agent systems with deception attacks and actuator bias. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. (C) 2020 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
