In this paper, the adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) problem of heterogeneous multi-agent systems (HMASs) with state constraints composed of first-order and second-order agents is studied. The problems of fault and constraints are inevitable during the operation of the system, the authors consider the fault of the system as actuator fault, and the constraints of the system can be considered as state constraints. Based on the backstepping framework, the logarithmic barrier Lyapunov function is selected to study the stability of system with constraints. For the bias fault of actuator fault, adaptive estimation is carried out, which can estimate the fault more accurately. Finally, an adaptive constrained FTC scheme is successfully designed to ensure that each signal of the system is bounded. Simulation examples show that the constrained FTC scheme is effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
