Saturated RISE Feedback Control for a Class of Second-Order Nonlinear Systems

摘要

A saturated controller is developed for a class of uncertain, second-order, nonlinear systems which includes time-varying and nonlinearly parameterized functions with bounded disturbances using a continuous control law with smooth saturation functions. Based on the robust integral of the sign of the error (RISE) control methodology, the developed controller is able to utilize the benefits of high gain control strategies while guaranteeing saturation limits are not surpassed. The bounds on the control are known a priori and can be adjusted by changing the feedback gains. The saturated controller yields asymptotic tracking despite model uncertainty and added disturbances in the dynamics. Experimental results using a two-link robot manipulator demonstrate the performance of the developed controller.
