title = "Finite-time consensus control of multi-agent systems for vessel steering with unmeasurable velocity and input saturation",
abstract = "The finite-time consensus problem of multi-agent system with Nomoto dynamics is considered in this paper. Based on the unmeasurable velocity and input saturation, a novel finite-time protocol is proposed with a second-order sliding mode observer. With the aid of both homogeneous systems theory and finite-time Lyapunov stability theorem, this paper demonstrates multiple vessels can achieve consensus under the given protocol within finite time. Finally, the effectiveness of the protocol is illustrated by numerical simulations.",
