Event-based adaptive fuzzy tracking control for nonlinear systems with input magnitude and rate saturations

In this paper, an event-based adaptive fuzzy tracking control strategy for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with limited control input and its rate of change is proposed. The unknown nonlinear function of the considered system is approximated by a fuzzy logic system (FLS). Furthermore, an event-triggered control method is developed to save the computing resources, in which the controller parameters are adaptively adjusted by a fuzzy controller. Moreover, it is proved by designing the Lyapunov function that the event-based controller can ensure that all signals of the controlled system are bounded. In addition, the tracking error can converge to a preset domain. Meanwhile, two practical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
