Discrete-Communication-Based Bipartite Tracking of Networked Robotic Systems via Hierarchical Hybrid Control

This paper investigates the bipartite tracking problem of networked robotic systems (NRSs) subject to input disturbances, discrete communications and signed directed graphs. Two new classes of hierarchical hybrid control algorithms (HHCAs), which involve both continuous and discontinuous signals in a uniform framework, are designed to solve the aforementioned problem in the model-independent control manner, i.e., without using the prior information of the system model. Besides, with the help of the Lyapunov statement and hybrid system theory, we establish several sufficient conditions for guaranteeing the convergence of the proposed hybrid algorithms. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
