Abstract
This brief studies the cooperative output regulation problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems with actuator faults. A new two-layer distributed control strategy is proposed: (i) Two types of distributed observers are designed for agents to estimate the exogenous signal, and an adaptive event-triggering mechanism is introduced to reduce unnecessary information transmission between agents; (ii) A decentralized adaptive fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed to achieve the cooperative output regulation of heterogeneous multi-agent systems and compensate for the actuator faults automatically. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.
