Resilience in Multi-Agent Systems: From Fault Diagnosis to Tolerant Control and Toward a Game-Theoretic Framework

Prof. Bin Jiang Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China |
Abstract
In recent years, the growing complexity of multi-agent systems has made them increasingly susceptible to operational faults spanning both individual agent failures and communication disruptions, which directly compromise system stability and safety. Consequently, the demand for resilient multi-agent systems has intensified, driving significant research attention toward integrated fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control. This talk presents a unified framework for achieving resilience through fault diagnosis, fault-tolerant control and fault-tolerant game control. The fault diagnosis module introduces a distributed nonlinear fault diagnosis design, enhanced by an event-triggered mechanism to improve efficiency and reduce communication load. In the fault-tolerant control module, theoretical advances are synthesized from fully actuated system theory, adaptive methods, and prescribed performance control, enabling robust recovery and sustained cooperation under faults. To further achieve the stability and optimal performance of multi-agent systems, the fault-tolerant game control is developed. Above results are applied to both homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-agent systems, with experimental validation provided through cooperative fault-tolerant control demonstrations in actual unmanned formation platforms.
