Predefined-time hierarchical controller-estimator time-varying formation-containment tracking for multiple Euler-Lagrange systems with two-layer leaders. (English) Zbl 1516.93002

Summary: This paper mainly discusses the problem of the predefined-time time-varying formation-containment tracking (TVFCT) for the multiple Euler-Lagrange systems (MELSs), where the external disturbances are taken into consideration. To cope with the above problem, a two-layer formation-containment tracking (FCT) framework is established, namely, the real leaders’ formation layer and the followers’ containment layer, where the analysis of the system is executed step by step. Meanwhile, the corresponding hierarchical control algorithms based on nonsingular terminal sliding mode are designed for different layers to facilitate the implementation of the TVFCT control problem. With the help of the Lyapunov function and predefined-time stability theory, some sufficient criteria for the convergence of the proposed algorithms are provided. In the end, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results and the designed controller.
