Output Feedback Fuzzy Control for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, a fuzzy control scheme, which employs the output feedback control approach, is suggested for the stabilization of nonlinear systems with uncertainties. The uncertain nonlinear system can be represented by uncertain Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model structure, which is further rearranged to give a set of uncertain linear systems. A switching-type fuzzy-model-based controller, which utilizes the static output feedback control strategy, is designed based on this preliminary study. Theoretical analysis guarantees that under the control of the proposed technique, the uncertain nonlinear system is stabilizable by the switching-type static output-feedback fuzzy-model-based controller. Finally, two computer simulation examples are provided to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed controller design method.
