Abstract

In this paper, a direct adaptive robust controller for a class of SISO nonaffine nonlinear systems is presented. The existence of an ideal controller is proved based on the Implicit Function Theorem. Since the Implicit Function Theorem only guarantees the existence of the controller and does not provide a way to construct it, a neural network is employed to approximate the unknown ideal controller. In addition, an observer is designed to estimate the system states because all the states may not be available for measurements. In this method, a priori knowledge about the sign of control gain is not required and, in order to cope with unknown control direction, the Nussbaum-type technique is used. Moreover, only one adaptive parameter is needed to be updated and also a robust term is used in the control signal to reduce the effect of external disturbances and approximation errors. Furthermore, the stability analysis for the closed-loop system is presented based on the Lyapunov stability method. Theoretical results are illustrated through a simulation example. These simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
