Predictive cloud control for nonlinear multiagent systems based on extended state observer and quantizers

Abstract In this article, predictive cloud control is investigated for nonlinear networked multiagent system (NMAS) with quantizers via extended state observer (ESO). Considering the network‐induced delays in NMAS, the cloud control scheme is designed. Then, arbitrary region quantizers are used to decrease the quantity of data packets. Moreover, the ESO that can estimate the state and uncertainty of nonlinear NMAS is used to obtain the prediction of data packets. Input‐to‐state stability (ISS) can guarantee the validity of ESO. Sufficient conditions that can achieve stability and consistency for NMAS are given by the zoom strategy. The significance of the scheme is verified by simulation results.
