Adaptive controllers for avoidance or evasion in an uncertain environment: Some examples☆

Abstract We consider a class of controllers which assure that, for a specific class of uncertain dynamical systems, the system state avoids a prescribed region. Each controller is a combination of a memoryless controller and an adaptive controller. The utilization of these controllers is demonstrated by application to two examples, a linear system with a bounded avoidance set and a planar pursuit-evasion problem. Numerical simulations illustrate the results.
