Abstract :
This study investigates the finite-time tracking for double-integrator multi-agent systems with bounded control input under the conditions of fixed and switching jointly reachable digraphes. In detail, two continuous distributed tracking protocols are designed to track the virtual leader in finite time with the same velocity and converging position. In particular, one introduces a special continuous distributed tracking protocol with bounded control input to track the virtual leader in finite time and reduce the chatter together. An example is also given to validate the proposed approaches.
