            Abstract : 
This paper studies the integral terminal sliding mode cooperative control of multi-robot networks. Here, we first propose an integral terminal sliding mode surface for a class of first order systems. Then, we prove that finite time consensus tracking of multi-robot networks can be achieved on this integral terminal sliding mode surface. Simulation results are presented to validate the analysis.
