Description
Summary:This paper provides a disturbance observer-based prescribed performance control method for uncertain strict-feedback systems. To guarantee that the tracking error meets a design prescribed performance boundary (PPB) condition, an improved prescribed performance function is introduced. And radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are used to approximate nonlinear functions, while second-order filters are employed to eliminate the “explosion-complexity” problem inherent in the existing method. Meanwhile, disturbance observers are constructed to estimate the compounded disturbance which includes time-varying disturbances and network construction errors. The stability of the whole closed-loop system is guaranteed via Lyapunov theory. Finally, comparative simulation results confirm that the proposed control method can achieve better tracking performance.
