A distributed fuzzy adaptive control approach is proposed for uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinearities and unknown parametric perturbation. Distributed fuzzy adaptive controllers with static coupling gain and adaptive coupling gain are designed based on the relative states of neighboring agents and a subset of absolute states of the agents. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the proposed fuzzy adaptive controllers guarantee the states of all agents
converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. A simulation example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
