Data-Driven-Based Cooperative Resilient Learning Method for Nonlinear MASs Under DoS Attacks.

In this article, we consider the cooperative tracking problem for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with unknown dynamics under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. To solve such a problem, a hierarchical cooperative resilient learning method, which involves a distributed resilient observer and a decentralized learning controller, is introduced in this article. Due to the existence of communication layers in the hierarchical control architecture, it may lead to communication delays and DoS attacks. Motivated by this consideration, a resilient model-free adaptive control (MFAC) method is developed to withstand the influence of communication delays and DoS attacks. First, a virtual reference signal is designed for each agent to estimate the time-varying reference signal under DoS attacks. To facilitate the tracking of each agent, the virtual reference signal is discretized. Then, a decentralized MFAC algorithm is designed for each agent such that each agent can track the reference signal by only using the obtained local information. Finally, a simulation example is proposed to verify the effectiveness of the developed method.

Learning-Based Distributed Resilient Fault-Tolerant Control Method for Heterogeneous MASs Under Unknown Leader Dynamic.

In this article, we consider the distributed fault-tolerant resilient consensus problem for heterogeneous multiagent systems (MASs) under both physical failures and network denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Different from the existing consensus results, the dynamic model of the leader is unknown for all followers in this article. To learn this unknown dynamic model under the influence of DoS attacks, a distributed resilient learning algorithm is proposed by using the idea of data-driven. Based on the learned dynamic model of the leader, a distributed resilient estimator is designed for each agent to estimate the states of the leader. Then, a new adaptive fault-tolerant resilient controller is designed to resist the effect of physical failures and network DoS attacks. Moreover, it is shown that the consensus can be achieved with the proposed learning-based fault-tolerant resilient control method. Finally, a simulation example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Analog Control Circuit Designs for a Class of Continuous-Time Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Control Systems.

This article is concerned with the robust adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) circuit designs for a class of continuous-time disturbed systems. A circuit realization method is investigated to convert the robust adaptive FTC control schemes into analog control circuits. An adaptive compensation control scheme against state-dependent and partially bounded actuator faults and disturbances is first developed to demonstrate the approach clearly, then its equivalent control circuits are implemented by using the circuit theory. Compared with simulation results achieved by MATLAB and professional circuit simulation software, the effectiveness of the proposed robust adaptive FTC circuits is validated by a rocket fairing system and a Chua's circuit system.

Adaptive pinning control of deteriorated nonlinear coupling networks with circuit realization.

This paper deals with a class of complex networks with nonideal coupling networks, and addresses the problem of asymptotic synchronization of the complex network through designing adaptive pinning control and coupling adjustment strategies. A more general coupled nonlinearity is considered as perturbations of the network, while a serious faulty network named deteriorated network is also proposed to be further study. For the sake of eliminating these adverse impacts for synchronization, indirect adaptive schemes are designed to construct controllers and adjusters on pinned nodes and nonuniform couplings of un-pinned nodes, respectively. According to Lyapunov stability theory, the proposed adaptive strategies are successful in ensuring the achievement of asymptotic synchronization of the complex network even in the presence of perturbed and deteriorated networks. The proposed schemes are physically implemented by circuitries and tested by simulation on a Chua's circuit network.
