This paper deals with the problem of adaptive tracking control for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems under arbitrary switching. First, combing fuzzy approximation and dynamic surface control (DSC), a switched adaptive state-feedback control scheme is proposed based on directly tuning the estimation of the switching ideal weight vectors in fuzzy logic systems. Switched adaptive laws and switched first-order filters in DSC are designed at each step in the backstepping to reduce the conservativeness caused by adoption of common adaptive laws and filters for each subsystem. By constructing a novel common Lyapunov function, the boundedness of the closed-loop system is ensured, while the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. Next, based on the estimation of ideal weight vectors, the proposed adaptive control scheme is extended to the output-feedback case where a switched fuzzy observer is first proposed to estimate the unmeasured states. The main advantage of the developed adaptive control schemes is that the changes of plant can be considered explicitly due to switching, which contributes to less conservativeness of the designed controllers. Finally, two simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
