This article investigates the distributed fuzzy optimal consensus control problem for state-constrained nonlinear strict-feedback systems under an identifier-actor–critic architecture. First, a fuzzy identifier is designed to approximate each agent’s unknown nonlinear dynamics. Then, by defining multiple barrier-type local optimal performance indexes for each agent, the optimal virtual and actual control laws are obtained, where two fuzzy-logic systems working as the actor network and critic network are used to execute control behavior and evaluate control performance, respectively. It is proved that the proposed control protocol can drive all agents to reach consensus without violating state constraints, and make the local performance indexes reach the Nash equilibrium simultaneously. Simulation studies are given to verify the effectiveness of the developed fuzzy optimal consensus control approach.
