Observer-Based Adaptive Finite-Time Tracking Control for a Class of Switched Nonlinear Systems With Unmodeled Dynamics

Abstract

This paper investigates the adaptive finite-time tracking control problem for a class of switched nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics. In practical applications, switched systems usually possess unfavourable factors, such as unmeasured states and unmodeled dynamics both of which are taken into account in this paper. A dynamic signal defined with a special property is introduced in this paper to improve control performance while garanteeing stability of the controlled system. By designing an observer, a finite-time adaptive output-feedback tracking controller is constructed via the backstepping technique. Then, the finite-time stability problem of the considered systems is studied. It is shown that all the signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly finite-time bounded (SGFUB), and the observer errors and tracking errors can be regulated to a small neighborhood of the origin by choosing appropriate parameters. It is noted that, the design process is less complex than some existing results on tackling control problems of nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics. In the example, the simulation result testifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Research on High-Precision Attitude Control of Joint Actuator of Three-Axis Air-Bearing Test Bed

“…Huo et al [15] proposed a feasible decentralized eventtriggered control method under the framework of ACD (Adaptive Critical Design) for a class of constrained nonlinear systems. Chang et al [16] studied an adaptive neural control method for a class of random switching nonlinear systems with actuator failure in the form of nonstrict feedback.…”

Adaptive Sliding Mode Based Stabilization Control for the Class of Underactuated Mechanical Systems

“…There are several control design methods for fully actuated mechanical systems because they possess some important properties like passivity and feedback linearization [3], which are helpful in the design of controllers for such systems. These methods include partial feedback linearization collocated [1], and non-collocated [4], passivity [5], adaptive and robust control [6][7][8][9], Sliding Mode Control (SMC) 10-13], fuzzy logic [14], and back-stepping [15]. The bottleneck associated with the aforementioned approaches is they are not directly applicable to the underactuated mechanical systems.…”

Dynamics and Robust Control of a New Realizable Chaotic Nonlinear Model

“…In [23], a novel strategy for complete and phase robust synchronizations of chaotic nonlinear systems based on singlestate feedback track synchronization control technique and genetic algorithm was proposed. More studies on control of nonlinear systems can be found in [24][25][26][27][28]. Different control strategies can be found in [29][30][31][32].…”
