Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Output Regulation of Linear Multi-Agent Systems with Sensor Faults

Abstract

This article studies the problem of cooperative fault-tolerant output regulation of leader-follower multi-agent systems with sensor faults. To compensate for the faults existing in the followers, distributed observers based on relative output estimation errors are firstly designed. Then an adaptive fault-tolerant output regulation framework is built by solving the regulator equation. It is shown that stability of the closed-loop system can be ensured and that all tracking errors will converge to zero under the designed fault-tolerant controller. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control law.
