Adaptive Fuzzy Output-Feedback Control for Switched Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Full-State Constraints

This article investigates an adaptive fuzzy tracking control approach via output feedback for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems with full-state constraints under arbitrary switchings. The adaptive observer and controller are designed based on fuzzy approximation. The main characteristic of discussed systems is that the state variables are not available for measurement and need to be kept within the constraint set. In order to estimate the unmeasured states, the adaptive fuzzy state observer is constructed. To guarantee that all the states do not violate the time-varying bounds, the tangent barrier Lyapunov functions (BLF-Tans) are selected in the design procedure. Based on the common Lyapunov function method, the stability of considered systems is analyzed. It is demonstrated that all the signals in the resulting system are bounded, and all the states are limited in their constrained sets. Furthermore, the simulation example is used to validate the effectiveness of the presented control strategy.
