This study studies the protocol of robust synchronisation of second‐order multi‐agent systems via pinning control. First, it is shown that, for the second‐order multi‐agent system with disturbances, by pinning one node with small coupling strength, the whole system can reach synchronisation. Then, these results are applied to the cooperative control of multiple 3‐degree of freedom helicopters systems with disturbances. Finally, simulations are performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
