This article is concerned with the memory-based event-triggered leader-following dissipative fault-tolerant consensus (LFDFTC) problem for the nonlinear multi-agent systems (NMASs) with semi-Markov switching topologies subject to the generally uncertain semi-Markov (GUSM) jumping process. Unlike the existing event-triggered (ET) consensus results, the dynamic memory event-triggered mechanism (DMETM) and memory-based distributed fault-tolerant (FT) controllers are designed to reduce the ET times. By constructing a general mode-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) and strictly ({R, Q, T}) - dissipative analysis, the dissipative FT consensus conditions of NMASs are derived in this paper. Finally, three actual physical systems are utilized to verify the validity of the proposed method. Note to Practitioners—Owing to the complexity of engineering environment, the consensus control issue of NMASs has attracted widespread attention. Nowadays, the consensus control of NMASs is generally utilized in diverse fields, such as multi-vehicle coordination, smart grids, and unmanned aerial vehicle formation. However, for the electronic device in practical applications, the channel bandwidth is limited due to power and energy constraints, and it is difficult for the fixed communication topologies and traditional periodic sampled-data control method to cope with these unexpected situations. Therefore, the LFDFTC issue for the NMASs with GUSM switching topologies is investigated by adopting DMETM and memory-based distributed FT controllers in this paper. In addition, the proposed FT consensus control methods with prescribed dissipative performance are applied to multiple vehicles time-invariant formation, Chua’s circuits synchronization, and multiple manipulators consensus.
