Robust prescribed-time consensus of multi-agent systems with actuator saturation and actuator faults

Prescribed-time leader-following consensus problem of multi-agent systems with actuator saturation is considered in this paper. With the proposed protocol, the convergence time can be assigned off-line, and actuator saturation problem is solved. A prescribed-time disturbance and actuator faults observer is designed to estimate the disturbance and actuator faults. At last, numerical simulations show the efficiency of the observer and controller.

Automated summary

This paper addresses the prescribed-time leader-following consensus problem of multi-agent systems with actuator saturation. A protocol is proposed to assign convergence time offline and solve the actuator saturation problem. A disturbance and actuator faults observer is designed for estimating the disturbance and actuator faults, with numerical simulations demonstrating the efficiency of the observer and controller.
