Command filter based input quantized adaptive tracking control for multi-input and multi-output non-strict feedback systems with unmodeled dynamics and full state time-varying constraints

This paper addresses the problem of adaptive tracking control for multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) non-strict feedback systems with unmodeled dynamics and full state time-varying constraints. To tackle the interference of unmodeled dynamics, the dynamic signal generated by the auxiliary system is used. Hyperbolic tangent function is used as a nonlinear mapping tool to transform the constrained system into an unconstrained one. Hysteresis quantizer is introduced to mitigate the chattering phenomenon and quantization error in the quantization signal. The derivative of virtual signal can be approximated more efficiently by command filter. Furthermore, an error compensation mechanism is established to mitigate the error introduced by the command filter. Unknown nonlinear functions are approximated by radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs). Stability analysis of the proposed controller is performed through the Lyapunov stability theory and the output tracking error can be constrained within a specified range. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
