Abstract
In this article, an adaptive fuzzy output-feedback tracking control scheme is proposed for a class of single-input and single-output uncertain switched nonlinear systems in nonstrict-feedback form with prescribed performance and arbitrary switching. By using the concept of prescribed performance, we mean that the tracking error converges to the predefined performance bounds. The unknown nonlinear functions are approximated by utilizing the fuzzy logic systems. For the systems under study, unavailable states are taken into account, which are estimated by constructing a fuzzy state observer. In order to overcome the difficulty arising from the nonstrict-feedback form, an effective adaptive parameter is introduced. By using the common Lyapunov function method and backstepping design approach, an adaptive control algorithm is presented for the considered system. The designed controller can guarantee that all the signals within closed-loop systems are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded. The effectiveness of the control strategy put forward in this paper is demonstrated by the simulation results.
