Fixed-Time Group Tracking Control With Unknown Inherent Nonlinear Dynamics

In this paper, the fixed-time group tracking problem for multi-agent systems with unknown inherent nonlinear dynamics is studied. A distributed tracking control protocol is introduced to ensure that the follower agents in each subgroup can track their respective leaders in a prescribed time regardle...
