Robust time-varying formation tracking for linear multi agent system with external disturbances using linear matrix inequalities
In this paper, the formation tracking of multi-agent systems is discussed. The model considered for each agent is linear with uncertain parameters. The effect of external disturbances is also considered in the model. To achieve predetermined time-varying formation, the required control input is presented. By applying this input, the closed-loop system will take the desired formation. Establishing the appropriate conditions for the realization of time-varying formation, and using the Lyapunov theory and the H_inf index to reduce the disturbance effect, results in some linear matrix inequalities. The designed parameter is then computed by solving those linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the designed strategy.
