Fuzzy Tracking Control for Nonlinear Networked Systems.
This paper studies the observer-based tracking control problem for discrete-time nonlinear networked control systems with parameter uncertainties and unmeasurable state variables. A network-induced constraint, i.e., the intermittent measurement loss, is considered in the controller design. The uncertain nonlinear system is described by an interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno model, in which the lower and the upper membership functions with corresponding coefficients are used to capture and express uncertainties existing in the system. A premise-variables-independent IT2 fuzzy observer is constructed to estimate the unmeasurable state variables, and then a novel IT2 fuzzy tracking controller is designed. Furthermore, sufficient criteria are established to guarantee the resulting closed-loop system to be stochastically stable. Finally, two examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
