Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper considers the global output-feedback stabilisation for power integrator systems with unknown control direction. The presence of uncontrollable and unobservable linearisation renders the strategy based on Nussbaum function rather difficult (even impossible) to compensate the unknown control direction. In this paper, to dominate the inherent nonlinearities and unknowns, a powerful switching strategy is proposed by combining an output-feedback scheme and a switching mechanism. First, a special case with known control direction is considered to provide a basic structure and selection rules of design parameters for the expected controller, and then, the essential case with unknown control direction is investigated to build a suitable switching logic to online tune the design parameters. The proposed switching-type output-feedback controller guarantees that all the system signals are globally bounded and ultimately converge to zero. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
