Adaptive finite-time stabilization for a class of uncertain high order nonholonomic systems
1School of Mathematics and Statistics, Anyang Normal University, Anyang 455000, China.
Abstract:
In this paper, the adaptive finite-time stabilization problem is investigated for a class of high order nonholonomic systems in power chained form with strong nonlinear drifts and nonlinear parameterization. By skillfully using finite-time stability theorem, parameter separation technique and adding a power integrator method, an adaptive state feedback controller is obtained. To overcome the obstacle that x-subsystem is uncontrollable when the control input u0=0, a novel switching control strategy is given. Based on this, the designed controller renders that the states of closed-loop system are regulated to zero in a finite time. Two illustrative examples are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
