Fuzzy adaptive high-gain-based observer backstepping control for SISO nonlinear systems with dynamical uncertainties

Abstract

In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive output feedback control approach is developed for a class of SISO strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unmeasured states, unmodeled dynamics, and dynamical disturbances. In the backstepping recursive design, fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, a fuzzy adaptive high-gain observer is designed to estimate the unmeasured states; a dynamic signal is incorporated into the control scheme to dominate the dynamic uncertainties. Using the states estimates and combining the backstepping design technique, a fuzzy adaptive output feedback control is constructed recursively. It is proved that the proposed fuzzy adaptive output feedback control scheme can guarantee the all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SUUB), and the observer and tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated via an example.
