In this article, an adaptive approximation-based output-feedback tracking control scheme is presented for a class of stochastic switched lower-triangular nonlinear systems with input saturation and unmeasurable state variables. First, to overcome the design obstacle caused by the nondifferential saturation nonlinearity, a carefully selected nonlinear function of the control input signal is applied to estimate the saturation function. Then, a reduced-order state observer is designed to model the unmeasured system states, which also means the error system can be established. Furthermore, the fuzzy-logic systems are utilized to approximate the unknown system nonlinearities in the adaptive backstepping-based controller design procedure. It is ensured that all the closed-loop system variables are bounded in probability and the error signal belongs to a compact set in the mean square sense. Finally, the effectiveness and the practicability of the proposed control scheme are shown by two examples.
