Finite-Time Adaptive Fuzzy Output Feedback Dynamic Surface Control for MIMO Nonstrict Feedback Systems

This paper investigates the finite-time adaptive fuzzy control problem for a class of multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear nonstrict feedback systems. During the control design process, fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and fuzzy state observer is constructed to estimate the unmeasured states. By combining adaptive backstepping with the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique, a finite-time fuzzy adaptive control scheme is presented to overcome the explosion of complexity problem. The stability of the close-loop systems can be proved based on the finite-time Lyapunov stability theory. The presented control scheme demonstrates that the closed-loop systems are semiglobal practical finite-time stability, and tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of the origin in a finite time. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the presented control method.
