Zusammenfassung:A novel distributed formation control algorithm for nonlinear uncertain multi-agent systems is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is developed based on a nonlinear H∞ framework for a team of aerial robots with nonlinear dynamics and bounded parametric uncertainties. The multi-agent control algorithm reduces to local control laws dependent on agents information and their neighbors data. The proof of stability is presented analytically. Simulation results for two predefined scenarios verify the robust performance of the algorithm in the presence of external disturbances and bounded uncertainties, numerically. Additionally, the effects of communication network configuration are studied using numerical simulations. Calculated ISE and IADU indexes show the effectiveness of the distributed algorithm compared to independent performance of the agents. •A novel distributed formation control law for nonlinear uncertain MAS is proposed.•The algorithm is developed based on NLH∞ theory for a team of aerial robots.•The stability and boundedness of the closed loop system is presented analytically.•Performance evaluation is accomplished using simulation and statistical analysis.•Numerical indexes are used to compare the performance for different network graphs.
