Abstract

This paper investigates fixed-time consensus control problems for heterogeneous multi-agent systems, which consist of single and double integrators, without using the measurements of neighbors’ velocities. Distributed control protocols are designed for single and double integrators, respectively, based on the ideas of backstepping approach and adding a power integrator method. The convergence performance of the closed-loop systems is analyzed by using Lyapunov theory and fixed-time stability theory. Moreover, numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of our results.
