摘要

This paper investigates the hierarchical three-dimensional (3-D) output tracking problem for networked uncertain robotic systems (NURSs) endowed with Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) capability, where both parametric uncertainties and external disturbances are explicitly considered. To address the vulnerabilities introduced by adversarial Byzantine robots and model uncertainties, a hierarchical control framework is developed, consisting of a BFT estimation layer and an output-space tracking layer. In the BFT estimation layer, a distributed BFT mechanism is constructed over a directed interaction graph, enabling each robot to suppress falsified state broadcasts and asymptotically recover the trusted virtual leader trajectory. Once a Byzantine node is detected, a BFT-based structural isolation strategy is activated to eliminate corrupted information while maintaining the connectivity of the remaining network. In the output-space tracking layer, a nonlinear 3-D tracking controller is designed using Jacobian-based output-space transformation and robust compensation terms to counteract uncertainties and disturbances in robot dynamics. The closed-loop stability of the hierarchical architecture is rigorously established through Lyapunov analysis. Numerical simulations further verify that the proposed method achieves resilient estimation, reliable Byzantine isolation, and high-precision 3-D output tracking for NURSs operating under adversarial conditions.
