Fixed-time rotating consensus control for multi-agent systems

This paper investigates the fixed-time rotating consensus (FRC) problem for the leaderless multi-agent systems subject to the external time-varying disturbances. The communication topology among agents is described by a strongly connected directed graph. Firstly, a distributed controller is proposed to drive the agents such that they achieve the rotating consensus within a fixed time irrelevant to the initial conditions. An integral sliding mode control technique is then utilized to compensate the time-varying disturbances. Finally, simulation results are given to illustrate the performance of the proposed controller.
