Abstract

An output feedback synchronization control was proposed for second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems with a leader. By using fuzzy logic systems to approximate unknown functions and combining dynamic surface control with prescribed performance control, the algorithm can not only reduce the controller complexity, but also guarantee the system transient performance. The stability analysis shows that the outputs of all followers converge to a small neighborhood of the leader with immeasurable system states, and synchronization errors remain in the predefined bounds. At last, simulations on the synchronization of autopilots demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
