Abstract

This study concentrates on the finite‐time (FT) formation control problem for a class of heterogeneous second‐order (SO) multi‐agent systems (MASs), where disturbance may exist in the dynamics of each agent and the communication graph is directed. First of all, a basic FT formation control protocol is proposed for the nominal SO MAS and the finite convergence time is calculated. To solve the FT formation control for a class of heterogeneous SO MASs without using global information, an adaptive FT formation control is then proposed. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to validate the theoretical results.
