This paper studies the problem of state-feedback stabilization control for a class of high order stochastic nonholonomic systems with disturbed virtual control directions and more general nonlinear drifts. By using the backstepping approach, we develop a recursive controller design procedure in the stochastic setting. To get around the stabilization burden associated with nonholonomic systems, a switching control strategy is exploited in this procedure. The tuning function technique is applied in the design to avoid the disadvantage of overparameterization. It is shown that, under some conditions, the designed controller could ensure that the closed-loop system is almost asymptotically stabilized in probability. It is noted that the obtained conclusion can be extended to multi-input systems. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
