Robust tracking control of uncertain nonlinear systems with an input time delay

In this paper a robust dynamic controller design algorithm for nonlinear systems with unmatched uncertainties and an input time delay is provided. For many practical systems, the existence of time delay is common in control practice. Therefore the problem of controlling such systems becomes more complex and sometimes degrades the control performance. We will propose a feasible method to deal with the problem of unmatched uncertainties and an input time delay. Based on the Lyapunov theory and the concept of functional analysis, the conditions of the robust stability of the overall closed-loop system with unmatched uncertainties and an input time delay will be derived. Finally, some examples and simulation results are provided to illustrate the versatility and performance of the proposed method.
