Abstract This paper focuses on the problem of the observer-based event-triggered adaptive containment control for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with prescribed performance. First, the radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are adopted to approximate the uncertain smooth nonlinear function, and the neural network-based state observer is designed to estimate the unmeasurable state. Besides, to reduce the control resource assumption and get a better balance between the system performance and network constraints, the switching threshold based event-triggered control strategy is introduced. Based on this, the novel distributed containment controller is designed by utilizing the adaptive backstepping technique and the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique to guarantee that the output of each follower converges to the convex hull formed by multileader. Moreover, the containment errors can be converged to the prescribed boundary and all signals in closed-loop system are semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) as well. Finally, the simulation example is carried out to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed controller.

Around the cooperative path-following control for the underactuated surface vessel (USV) and the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a logic virtual ship-logic virtual aircraft (LVS-LVA) guidance principle is developed to generate the reference heading signals for the USV-UAV system by using the “virtual ship” and the “virtual aircraft”, which is critical to establish an effective correlation between the USV and the UAV. Taking the steerable variables (the main engine speed and the rudder angle of the USV, and the rotor angular velocities of the UAV) as the control input, a robust adaptive neural cooperative control algorithm was designed by employing the dynamic surface control (DSC), radial basic function neural networks (RBF-NNs) and the event-triggered technique. In the proposed algorithm, the reference roll angle and pitch angle for the UAV can be calculated from the position control loop by virtue of the nonlinear decouple technique. In addition, the system uncertainties were approximated through the RBF-NNs and the transmission burden from the controller to the actuators was reduced for merits of the event-triggered technique. Thus, the derived control law is superior in terms of the concise form, low transmission burden and robustness. Furthermore, the tracking errors of the USV-UAV cooperative control system can converge to a small compact set through adjusting the designed control parameters appropriately, and it can be also guaranteed that all the signals are the semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been verified via numerical simulations in the presence of the time-varying disturbances.

For the ultralow altitude airdrop decline stage, many factors such as actuator nonlinearity, the uncertain atmospheric disturbances, and model unknown nonlinearity affect the precision of trajectory tracking. A robust adaptive neural network dynamic surface control method is proposed. The neural network is used to approximate unknown nonlinear continuous functions of the model, and a nonlinear robust term is introduced to eliminate the actuator’s nonlinear modeling error and external disturbances. From Lyapunov stability theorem, it is rigorously proved that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. Simulation results confirm the perfect tracking performance and strong robustness of the proposed method.
