Adaptive Neural-Network Control of MIMO Nonaffine Nonlinear Systems With Asymmetric Time-Varying State Constraints

摘要

In this paper, a novel robust adaptive barrier Lyapunov function (BLF)-based backstepping controller has been proposed for a class of interconnected, multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) unknown nonaffine nonlinear systems with asymmetric time-varying (ATV) state constraints. The design involves a neural-network-based online approximator to cope with uncertain dynamics of the system. To tune its weights, a novel adaptive law is proposed based on the Hadamard product. A theorem has also been proposed to have the bounds on virtual control signals beforehand. This theorem eliminates the need for tedious offline computation for the feasibility condition on the virtual controller in BLF-based controller design. To overcome the problem of unknown control gain in the nonaffine system, Nussbaum gain has been used during the design. A simulation study on the robot manipulator in task space has been performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
