Abstract

The event-triggered control problem is investigated for multi-agent systems (MASs) with disturbances. An extended state observer-based fully distributed finite-time event-trigger controller with three adaptive parameters is proposed based on terminal sliding mode and gain adaptive method. The parameters are introduced to reduce chartering, analyze stability and achieve fully distributed control. Although several triggering conditions are increased because of three parameters, however, compared with only one triggering condition, the designed control protocol improves the control accuracy. The numeral simulation shows the effectiveness of the proposed protocol.
