Impulsive Control of Nonlinear Multiagent Systems: A Hybrid Fuzzy Adaptive and Event-Triggered Strategy

In this article, we present a hybrid control approach that integrates an adaptive fuzzy mechanism with an event-triggered impulse strategy to address consensus control challenges in nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with uncertain information, both in leader and leaderless scenarios. First, a fuzzy logic-based adaptive control mechanism is proposed to handle system nonlinearity and uncertainty. This mechanism dynamically adjusts fuzzy control rules in real time, enabling the system to adapt to changing conditions and enhancing its robustness against nonlinear disturbances. Second, to alleviate communication overhead and reduce control frequency, an event-triggered impulse strategy is implemented. This strategy activates impulse control only under specific conditions, effectively minimizing control actions while maintaining system consensus. Using Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions for achieving system consensus are established, demonstrating the global consensus and robustness of the MASs under certain criteria. Finally, numerical simulations and experimental evaluations validate the proposed method's effectiveness and its practical advantages.
