Modified Repetitive Control Design for Nonlinear Systems With Time Delay Based on T-S Fuzzy Model

In this paper, based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model approach, a novel output feedback control strategy is developed for a class of continuous-time nonlinear time delay systems via modified repetitive control scheme. The main objective of this paper is to design a fuzzy rule-based modified repetitive controller such that the system output can track any given periodic reference signal even in the presence of periodic disturbances. For this purpose, by employing fuzzy-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional together with the free-weighting matrix technique, a new set of sufficient conditions is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities to guarantee the robust stability of the resulting closed-loop system. Based on these conditions and using internal model principle, it is shown that the system output tracks the given reference input within the desired error. Finally, two application-oriented examples are presented to validate the obtained theoretical results in which the proposed control design scheme gives better performance over the existing control scheme.
