A Hybrid Predictive Type-3 Fuzzy Control for Time-Delay Multi-Agent Systems

Abstract

In this paper, the consensus problem is addressed for multi-agent systems. The dynamics of each agent contain unknown uncertain/nonlinear terms and unknown time delays. A type-3 fuzzy logic system is developed to tackle the effect of unknown dynamics and design a hybrid controller. The policy scheme involves two control signals for the stabilization of the approximation and consensus error of each agent dynamic. To this end, based on the concept of the model predictive control approach, the constrained control laws are designed and updated at each time step. The simulations results portray the error signals. Feasibility, appropriate convergence, and proper transient response are the main merits of the suggested method.
