Abstract

In this study, a robust control technique is investigated for the reference tracking of uncertain time-delayed systems in the existence of the actuator saturation. Due to emerging of some control complexities, as well as the input limitations, time-varying delay, uncertainty, and external disturbance, such a tracking goal would be realized through suitable design of the composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) controller. Thus, considering the mentioned limitations, a Lyapunov-based procedure is used to determine the control law. Then, the parameters of the CNF input are derived by using the solution of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem. The planned tracking idea is numerically implemented in two uncertain control systems. Some performance characteristics (i.e., the tracking error, boundedness, and transient responses) are compared with similar ones. Accordingly, the simulations illustrate the efficiency of the suggested control procedure over the existing CNF approaches.
