            Abstract : 
In this paper, we study the robust consensus tracking problem for a class of high-order multi-agent systems with unmodelled dynamics and unknown disturbances. A continuous robust control algorithm is designed for each agent of the high-order multi-agent system to enable robust asymptotic consensus tracking of a desired trajectory signal. By utilizing Lyapunov analysis methods and an invariance-like theorem, sufficient conditions for globally asymptotic tracking are established. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
