Abstract: In recent years, with the increasing complexity of multiagent systems, they are prone to faults during operation, including single agent faults and communication faults, affecting the stability and safety of the system. The demand for system reliability is continuously increasing, and the studies on fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control have attracted high attention. This talk includes fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of multiagent systems. Fault diagnosis section provides a distributed nonlinear fault diagnosis design method and considers a fault diagnosis strategy based on event triggering mechanism. The fault-tolerant control section includes theoretical results based on fully actuated system theory, game theory, fast adaptation, prescribed performance, etc. The research subjects include homogeneous multiagent systems and heterogeneous multiagent systems. Finally, the cooperative fault-tolerant control of some actual unmanned formation systems is demonstrated.
