Fuzzy-Model-Based Output Feedback Reliable Control for Network-Based Semi-Markov Jump Nonlinear Systems Subject to Redundant Channels

This article investigates the reliable output feedback control problem for networked nonlinear semi-Markov jump systems, in which a control strategy with redundant channels is established to reduce the adverse effect caused by packet dropouts. The actuator faults are fully considered in the setup. On the basis of stochastic analysis theory and fuzzy-model-based method, some criteria are established to guarantee the s-error mean-square stability for the considered systems. As a consequence, the reliable output feedback controller design method is proposed, which can be utilized to deal with the actuator failures problem effectively. Finally, two illustrative examples are employed to explain the availability of the presented design approach, where the single-link robot arm system model is contained.
