This paper investigates semi-global adaptive bipartite output consensus of continuous-time multi-agent systems (MASs) with input saturation and non-identical external disturbance under jointly connected switching network. An adaptive bipartite output consensus protocol of MASs is proposed by using low-gain feedback technology. It is turned out that semi-global adaptive bipartite consensus of MASs can be achieved under the protocol. Furthermore, the proposed control protocol can be applied for MASs under fixed network, and semi-global adaptive bipartite output consensus can be also achieved in this case. Finally, the simulations will verify the effectiveness of theoretical results.
