ADAPTIVE ROBUST CONTROL OF UNCERTAIN SYSTEMS WITH TIME-VARYING STATE DELAY

摘要

In this paper, a new adaptive robust control scheme is developed for a class of uncertain dynamical systems with time-varying state delay, unknown parameters and disturbances. By incorporating adaptive techniques into the robust control method, we propose a continuous adaptive robust controller which guarantees the uniform boundedness of the system and at the same time, the regulating error enters an arbitrarily designated zone in a finite time. The proposed controller is independent of the time-delay, hence it is applicable to a class of dynamical systems with uncertain time delays. The paper includes simulation studies demonstrating the performance of the proposed control scheme.
