To design an observer-based inverse optimal control framework for nonlinear systems to achieve asymptotic reference tracking and time-varying disturbance rejection without requiring full-state measurements.
Developed a full-order high-gain observer to estimate internal and external states generated by an exosystem.
Integrated state estimates into an inverse optimal controller augmented with a conditional servocompensator using Lyapunov redesign and saturated high-gain feedback.
Simulated and benchmarked the proposed output-feedback architecture against baseline controllers on a nonlinear DC motor model in MATLAB/Simulink.
The proposed controller achieved asymptotic convergence to target reference trajectories while effectively rejecting time-varying external disturbances.
Comparative simulation benchmarks demonstrated improved transient performance, robustness, and estimation-to-control integration relative to baseline controllers.
