Unknown nonlinear multi-agent iterative control method based on model decoupling coding and decoding

This invention discloses an iterative control method for unknown nonlinear multi-agent systems based on model decoupling encoding and decoding, belonging to the field of multi-agent cooperative control technology. The method acquires the state and trajectory information of each follower and leader in a multi-agent system. The follower state information is quantized and transmitted through a model-decoupled dynamic encoding and decoding mechanism. This mechanism does not embed system dynamic parameters, but only dynamically adjusts the state error scaling factor to prevent quantizer saturation. After receiving the quantized data, each follower reconstructs its decoded state information using a decoder. Based on this information and the leader's trajectory, a local performance index function without neighbor control input is constructed. An online value iteration algorithm is used to update the weight parameters of the evaluation network and execution network of each follower. After convergence, the optimal control strategy is obtained, generating control inputs to drive the system to achieve leader-follower consistency tracking.
