Abstract :
This paper considers a distributed adaptive output regulation design for a class of nonlinearly strongly coupled multi-agent systems in an output-feedback form. When the agent dynamics contains unknown parameters, it may lead to uncertain coupling weights in the internal model network. This motivates us to develop a Lyapunov approach integrated with a suitable adaptive control technique to overcome this hurdle. As an illustration, an output synchronization problem of a chain of FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) type network and a harmonic oscillator is given.
