description This paper primarily focuses on the asynchronous cooperation control problem of multi-agent systems with external disturbances. Here, all agents take control actions, such as sampling measurements, computing control inputs, and exchanging information based on their individual clocks rather than a global synchronized clock. Owing to the asynchronous nature, the information of each agent received by all its neighbors at the same time instant may be different and deviate from what this agent predicts, potentially resulting in poor decision-making and even instability. To ensure stability, dynamic compatibility constraints related to all the uncertain deviations are established and incorporated into the optimization problem. Additionally, the constraint restriction method is employed to satisfy physical constraints and optimize performance in the presence of external perturbations. Then, an asynchronous distributed model predictive control with a dual-mode strategy is developed and sufficient conditions on the design parameters are constructed to ensure recursive feasibility and system stability. Finally, simulation experiments on a multiple-vehicle system with asynchronous control actions are carried out to validate the theoretical results.
