Abstract

This paper mainly focuses on the nonconvex constrained consensus problem of heterogeneous multi-agent systems under the case of coexistence of velocity and input constraints. By utilizing contraction operator, a novel distributed control law is proposed. Under some mild conditions, it is shown that all agents can reach an agreement on their position states while the velocities of second-order agents and inputs of all agents can stay in their corresponding nonconvex constrained sets. At last, the correctness of theoretical results is verified by simulations.
