Event-Triggered Containment Control of Multi-Agent Systems With High-Order Dynamics and Input Delay

This paper studies the problem of distributed containment control for multi-agent systems with high-order dynamics and input delays. Two event-triggered control algorithms are proposed for multi-agent systems without and with input delay, respectively. The communication instants between two linked followers are determined by the event-triggering condition, and every follower can detect the event based on its own control input. For the followers, edge-based estimators are adopted to predict state differences to neighbors. Control inputs of the followers are calculated based on the predicted values of the state differences. To deal with the input delay, a delay comprehension approach is developed. It is proved that for arbitrarily large but bounded input delays, the followers can move into the convex hull spanned by the leaders asymptotically. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
