Predictive Control Strategy Based Fault-Tolerant Formation Control for Fully Actuated Multi-Agent Systems
摘要
For fully actuated multi-agent systems (FAMASs), this paper presents a fault-tolerant formation control strategy grounded in a distributed predictive control framework. With the aid of the state information of neighbouring agents, a discrete distributed fault estimation observer is devised to accurately estimate actuator faults within the FAMASs. Subsequently, leveraging the high-order fully actuated characteristics of FAMAS and the obtained fault estimation information, a fully actuated system approach is employed to construct a fault-tolerant formation controller, which can mitigate the adverse impacts caused by actuator faults and the nonlinear dynamics. Furthermore, the designed controller incorporates a predictive control element, derived by minimizing a cost function related to the multi-step-ahead prediction of formation errors and control inputs. This approach ensures the stability of the FAMAS formation while optimizing control performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is proven through its application to UAV formation.
