Abstract: | The second‐order consensus problem of nonlinear leader‐following multi‐agent systems is investigated in this paper. To solve the case that the velocities of all agents cannot be measured and the nonlinearity is unknown, an observer‐based dynamic output feedback controller is proposed based on a non‐separation principle method. Using the feedback domination technique, it is shown that the systems output can reach consensus by choosing appropriate gains. Two examples are given to verify the efficiency of the proposed method.
