In this paper, we study the cooperative global robust output regulation problem for nonlinear multiagent systems in output feedback form with any relative degree subject to directed switching networks. Through the augmentation by a distributed internal model and a distributed observer of the given system, we first convert the original problem into the global robust stabilization problem of the so-called extended augmented system, which is a multi-input-coupled switched system. Then, we establish a few technical lemmas to lay the foundation for constructing a switching control law and the corresponding multiple Lyapunov functions for the switched system. Then, we present the solvability conditions of our problem via the multiple Lyapunov functions and average dwell time method. The main result will be applied to the leader-following synchronization problem for a group of hyperchaotic Lorenz multiagent systems with a directed switching network.
