Abstract

This paper discusses the containment control problem for multi-agent systems with input saturations. The goal of the containment control is to obtain swarming behavior by driving follower agents into the convex hull which is spanned by multiple leader agents. This paper considers multiple leader agents moving at the same constant speed. Then, to solve the containment problem for moving leaders, we propose a PI-based distributed control algorithm. We next analyze the convergence of follower agents to the desired positions. Specifically, we apply the integral-type Lyapunov function to take into account the saturation nonlinearity. Then, based on Lasalle's Invariance Principle, we show that the asymptotic convergence of error states to zero for any positive constant gains. Finally, numerical examples with the static and moving leaders are provided to validate the theoretical results.

본 논문에서는 입력 포화가 존재하는 다중 에이전트 시스템의 봉쇄제어 문제를 다룬다. 봉쇄제어의 목표는 추종 에이전트들을 리더 에이전트들에 의해 형성된 convex hull 안으로 몰아넣음으로써 군집 행동을 얻는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 일정한 속도로 움직이는 리더 에이전트들을 고려한다. 움직이는 리더들을 고려한 봉쇄 문제를 해결하기 위하여 PI기반의 분산제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 다음으로 추종 에이전트들의 목표 위치로의 수렴성을 해석한다. 구체적으로 포화 비선형성을 고려하기 위하여 적분 형태의 리아프노프 함수를 적용한다. 그리고 Lasalle's Invariance Principle을 기반으로 임의의 상수 이득들에 대하여 오차 상태들의 점근적 수렴성을 보인다. 마지막으로 고정된 리더들과 일정한 속도로 움직이는 리더들을 고려한 시뮬레이션을 진행하여 이론적 결과를 검증하였다.
