Adaptive Fuzzy Finite-Time Tracking Control for Nonstrict Full States Constrained Nonlinear System With Coupled Dead-Zone Input

This article proposes an adaptive finite-time tracking control based on fuzzy-logic systems (FLSs) for an uncertain nonstrict nonlinear multi-input–multi-output (MIMO) full-state-constrained system with the coupled uncertain dead-zone input. By using three kinds of FLSs: the uncertain system, the uncertain dead zone, and the uncertain input transfer inverse matrix are approximated using the system function FLS, dead-zone FLS, and input transfer inverse matrix FLS, respectively. After defining the barrier Lyapunov function, the fuzzy-based adaptive tracking controllers are designed, and the fuzzy weights are updated through the proposed adaptive laws. Then, based on the extended finite-time convergence theorem, with the design parameters chosen properly, the target uncertain nonlinear system is guaranteed to be semiglobal practical finite-time stable (SGPFS); and the full-state constraints are not violated while avoiding the effects of the dead zones. Furthermore, a simulation is presented to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.
