The fault-tolerant time-varying formation (TVF) trajectory tracking control problem is investigated in this paper for uncertain multi-agent systems (MASs) with external disturbances subject to time delays under semi-Markov switching topologies. Firstly, based on the characteristics of actuator faults, a failure distribution model is established, which can better describe the occurrence of the failures in practice. Secondly, switching the network topologies is assumed to follow a semi-Markov stochastic process that depends on the sojourn time. Subsequently, a novel distributed state-feedback control protocol with time-varying delays is proposed to ensure that the MASs can maintain a desired formation configuration. To reduce the impact of disturbances imposed on the system, the performance index is introduced to enhance the robustness of the controller. Furthermore, by constructing an advanced Lyapunov–Krasovskii (LK) functional and utilizing the reciprocally convex combination theory, the TVF control problem can be transformed into an asymptotic stability issue, achieving the purpose of decoupling and reducing conservatism. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for system stability are obtained through linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Eventually, the availability and superiority of the theoretical results are validated by three simulation examples.
