In this paper, we study the cooperative semi-global robust output regulation problem for a class of minimum phase nonlinear uncertain multi-agent systems. This problem is a generalization of the leader-following tracking problem in the sense that it further addresses such issues as disturbance rejection, robustness with respect to parameter uncertainties. To solve this problem, we first introduce a type of distributed internal model that converts the cooperative semi-global robust output regulation problem into a cooperative semi-global robust stabilization problem of the so-called augmented system. We then solve the semi-global stabilization problem via distributed dynamic output control law by utilizing and combining a block semi-global backstepping technique, a simultaneous high gain feedback control technique, and a distributed high gain observer technique.
