Abstract
This paper focuses on distributed sliding-mode consensus tracking control of fuzzy multi-agent systems (MASs) under time-varying transmission delays and hybrid cyber-attacks, including deception and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Impulsive and switching signals are adopted to describe the dynamic process of the fuzzy MAS subject to hybrid cyber-attacks. In order to address the hybrid cyber-attacks, a novel integral-type sliding surface function grounded on lumped consensus tracking errors is presented, and a resilient control scheme based on this surface is designed accordingly. By adopting the analysis method of hybrid systems and finite-time control theory, sufficient conditions are deduced to guarantee that the tracking error dynamics can achieve the intended sliding surface in a finite time and remain on the surface thereafter. Meanwhile, the quantitative relationships between the influence of hybrid cyber attacks on the convergence rate of the control strategy are clearly revealed. Moreover, the stabilities of the corresponding sliding mode dynamics are investigated. Finally, the example of cooperative fuzzy robot manipulators is used to illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed theoretical results.
