This article studies the group coordinated control problem for distributed nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with unknown dynamics. Cloud computing systems are employed to divide agents into groups and establish networked distributed multigroup-agent systems (ND-MGASs). To achieve the coordination of all agents and actively compensate for communication network delays, a novel networked model-free adaptive predictive control (NMFAPC) strategy combining networked predictive control theory with model-free adaptive control method is proposed. In the NMFAPC strategy, each nonlinear agent is described as a time-varying data model, which only relies on the system measurement data for adaptive learning. To analyze the system performance, a simultaneous analysis method for stability and consensus of ND-MGASs is presented. Finally, the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed NMFAPC strategy are verified by numerical simulations and experimental examples. The achievement also provides a solution for the coordination of large-scale nonlinear MASs.
