Command-Filtered-Based Fuzzy Adaptive Control Design for MIMO-Switched Nonstrict-Feedback Nonlinear Systems

Abstract

The adaptive fuzzy tracking control design problem for multi-input and multi-output uncertain switched nonstrict-feedback nonlinear systems with arbitrary switchings is investigated in this paper. Fuzzy logic systems are introduced to identify the unknown nonlinear functions (for state measurable case) and model the uncertain nonlinear systems (for state immeasurable case). Both state feedback and observer-based output feedback control design schemes are developed based on combined command filter and adaptive fuzzy control technique. The proposed adaptive fuzzy controllers not only solve the “explosion of complexity” problem existing in conventional backstepping control schemes, but as well as avoid the calculation of partial derivatives. Furthermore, the stability of the fuzzy control systems under arbitrary switchings is proven based on the common Lyapunov function method. Two simulation examples are presented to further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
