Robust adaptive dynamic memory‐event‐triggered attitude control for nonlinear multi‐UAVs resist actuator hysteresis

Summary This article studies the memory‐based dynamic event‐triggered (MBDET) robust adaptive fuzzy control problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear MASs subject to Backlash‐Like Hysteresis. The considered MASs are modeled as a class of nonlinear leader‐following multiagent systems with multiple inputs for each subsystem, which can be used to model multiple multi‐rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (Multi‐UAV) attitude systems. In the framework of backstepping recursive design, the fuzzy approximation technology, the parameter estimation technology, and the first‐order filtering technology are integrated, and an effective fuzzy adaptive control method is proposed, which solves the problems of Backlash‐Like Hysteresis and external disturbances in the system while avoiding the “explosion of complexity”. In order to relieve the communication pressure of Multi‐UAV attitude systems, a novel dynamic memory‐event‐triggered mechanism (DMETM) based on user‐set parameters is developed. Compared with the traditional event‐triggered mechanism, this DMETM has larger triggering time intervals, effectively reduces communication frequency, and has greater flexibility in balancing system performance and communication bandwidth resource constraints. The closed‐loop stability analysis scheme for Multi‐UAV attitude systems is presented by combining the backstepping recursive design technique and Lyapunov stability theory, which proves that closed‐loop stability and tracking performance can be ensured. Finally, the design method is successfully applied to show the effectiveness of the proposed method to solve the dynamic memory‐event‐triggered attitude control problem for nonlinear Multi‐UAVs.
