Fuzzy Tracking Control for a Class of Uncertain MIMO Nonlinear Systems With State Constraints

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy neural network (FNN) control scheme is developed for a class of multipleinput and multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems subject to unknown dynamics and state constraints. FNNs are used to approximate the unknown dynamics that comprises the effects of uncertain parameters and functions. Also, integral Lyapunov functions are introduced to address state constraints. A neuralnetwork-based observer is designed to estimate the unmeasurable states. With state-feedback and output feedback tracking control, the stability of closed-loop system is guaranteed via Lyapunov's stability theory. Two cases of simulations for MIMO systems with state constraints are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control.
