Fault Tolerant Consensus of Multi Agent Systems Under Actuator Faults

This paper is concerned with the control of Lipschitz continuous multi-agent systems in the presence of actuator faults. The faults in a multi-agent system can potentially affect the mission and lead to instability. A linear matrix inequality based method is proposed to account for the faults so that a stable consensus can be maintained even when the agents are subject to hybrid faults and nonlinearities. Two illustrative examples are provided to show the design and feasibility of the proposed method.
