Adaptive Neural Event-Triggered Fault-Tolerant Control for Uncertain Nonlinear Cyber–Physical Systems With Sensor and Actuator Faults Via Triggered Output Feedback

This article is concerned with the event-triggered fault-tolerant control (FTC) for uncertain nonlinear cyber-physical systems (CPSs) by only exploiting the triggered faulty output. During the control design process, the unknown system dynamics, the time-varying sensor, and the actuator faults are considered simultaneously. Based on the event-triggered mechanism, the first-order filter technique and the nonlinear impulsive dynamics approach, an adaptive neural event-triggered output feedback FTC scheme is established. More specifically, one triggering condition is established for both the measurable output and the state estimations, with the adaptive parameters being triggered at the same instants. Another triggering condition is established for the controller, eliminating the need for real-time monitoring of control information and thereby reducing the computational burden. Then, a neural state observer is designed from triggered faulty output and triggered state estimations. The first-order filter technique is introduced to handle the non-differentiability of virtual controls stemmed from the event-triggered mechanism. The nonlinear impulsive dynamics approach is employed for stability analysis of the discontinuous error dynamics. It is proved that, with the proposed scheme, all the closed-loop signals are bounded, meanwhile the system output converges to the origin asymptotically, and the Zeno behavior is excluded. Finally, simulation results present the feasibility and effectiveness of the seeking schemes.
