| Abstract: | In this paper, the multi-agent formation problem of networked nonlinear multi-agent systems with local Lipschitz continuous dynamics under directed interaction topology, is investigated.Based on the nonlinear dynamics satisfying locally Lipschitz continuous conditions, three kinds of sliding mode controllers are proposed to solve the problem of multi-agent formation control. Using integral sliding mode controller in first-order system, formation shape is achieved within finite time.For second-order system, on the one hand, non-singular terminal sliding mode function is adopted to accomplish the system asymptotic convergence. Furthermore, super-twisting algorithm is proposed to make multi-agent achieve the desired formation within finite time. Lyapunov functions are applied in the whole paper to ensure the system stability. Numerical simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed sliding mode control methods. |
