Adaptive Fuzzy Control for Nonlinear Networked Control Systems

This paper studies the problem of adaptive fuzzy control for a category of single-input single-output nonlinear networked control systems with network-induced delay and data loss based on adaptive backstepping control approach. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear characteristics existing in the system, while Pade approximation is introduced to handle network-induced delay. Data loss occurs intermittently and stochastically in the data transmitting process, which is regarded as the delay in the controller design. In the framework of adaptive fuzzy backstepping technique, a novel state-feedback adaptive controller is constructed to ensure all signals in the resulting closed-loop system to be bounded and the state variables can be regulated to the origin. Finally, two examples are given to show the validity of the proposed results.
