Abstract
This paper addresses the tracking control problem of a class of multiple-input-multiple-output nonlinear systems subject to actuator faults. Achieving a balance between input saturation and performance constraints, rather than conducting isolated analyses, especially in the presence of frequently encountered unknown actuator faults, becomes an interesting yet challenging problem. First, to enhance the tracking performance, Tunnel Prescribed Performance (TPP) is proposed to provide narrow tunnel-shape constraints instead of the common over-relaxed trumpet-shape performance constraints. A pair of non-negative signals produced by an auxiliary system is then integrated into TPP, resulting in Saturation-tolerant Prescribed Performance (SPP) with flexible performance boundaries that account for input saturation situations. Namely, SPP can appropriately relax TPP when needed and decrease the conservatism of control design. With the help of SPP, our developed Saturation-tolerant Prescribed Control (SPC) guarantees finite-time convergence while satisfying both input saturation and performance constraints, even under serious actuator faults. Simulations are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed SPC.
