Cooperative Fault-Tolerant Output Regulation for Multiagent Systems by Distributed Learning Control Approach

摘要

In this article, a new distributed learning control approach is proposed to address the cooperative fault-tolerant output regulation problem for linear multiagent systems with actuator faults. First, a distributed estimation algorithm with an online learning mechanism is presented to identify the system matrix of the exosystem and to estimate the state of the exosystem. In particular, an auxiliary variable is introduced in the distributed estimation algorithm to construct a data matrix, which is used to learn the system matrix of the exosystem for each subsystem. In addition, by resetting the state of the estimator and by using the identified matrix to update the estimator, all subsystems can reconstruct the state of the exosystem at an initial period of time, which is used for the neighbor subsystem to learn the system matrix of the exosystem. Based on the designed estimator, a novel distributed fault-tolerant controller is developed. Compared with the existing cooperative output regulation results, the system matrix of the exosystem considered in this article is unknown for all subsystems. Finally, a simulation example is provided to show the effectiveness of the obtained new design techniques.
