Abstract : This paper studies the problem of scaled consensus with output saturation under exogenous disturbances, that is, under exogenous disturbances the state of the agent reaches an assigned proportion, rather than a common value. The main contribution of this work is to propose a new nonlinear protocol, which attenuates the exogenous disturbances by designing a disturbance observer, so that the states of all agents will be proportional to each other. In addition, with the help of integral Lyapunov function, a sufficient condition for the multi-agent system to achieve the scaled consensus with output saturation under exogenous disturbances is obtained under the directed strong connection graph. Finally, a simulation example is given to verify the validity of the results of this work.
