Designing fixed-time tracking consensus protocols for networked Euler-Lagrangian systems with directed graphs

Abstract

In this paper, a class of disturbed networked Euler-Lagrangian systems is investigated to track a general virtual signal under a general directed communication network. Firstly, a class of fixed-time distributed observer is constructed to estimate the leader’s state. Secondly, a local anti-disturbance tracking control based on the previous distributed observer is proposed for each follower to achieve the tracking consensus in a fixed time. A simulation example is finally conducted to verify the proposed algorithm. Show more
