Fixed-time convergent consensus algorithm of networked nonholonomic multi-agent systems
December 2020 • Michaël Defoort, Thierry Floquet, Wilfrid Perruquetti
In this paper, the problem of fixed-time leaderfollower consensus problem of nonholonomic multi-agent systems is under study. Using the "desingularisation method" introduced in the seminal paper by J.M. Coron [5], new fixedtime controllers/observers for the double integrator system are designed. Following those results, a switching consensus protocol which guarantees the tracking errors stabilization in fixed-time which does not depend on the initial conditions of the multi-agent system is provided. Simulation res…
