In this chapter, an overview of the possibility of applying Sliding Mode Control to Consensus Control problems is proposed. The theoretical concepts at the basis of Consensus Control are first introduced to form a common basis useful to understand the results currently available in the literature, which are here adapted when needed to achieve a uniform notation. Then, some works proposing the generation of Sliding Modes for the achievement of leaderless and leader-follower consensus are reported with the aim of giving to the reader a clearer idea of the available possibilities. Effort is made to highlight the benefits of adopting such an approach, which reside generally in robustness and finite-time convergence.

Abstract
In this chapter, an overview of the possibility of applying Sliding Mode Control to Consensus Control problems is proposed. The theoretical concepts at the basis of Consensus Control are first introduced to form a common basis useful to understand the results currently available in the literature, which are here adapted when needed to achieve a uniform notation. Then, some works proposing the generation of Sliding Modes for the achievement of leaderless and leader-follower consensus are reported with the aim of giving to the reader a clearer idea of the available possibilities. Effort is made to highlight the benefits of adopting such an approach, which reside generally in robustness and finite-time convergence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
