Networked control systems design via fuzzy logic method

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of designing robust static output-feedback controllers for nonlinear network based controller design for the given T-S fuzzy model. The effects of both network-induced delays and data packet dropout will be investigated. Based on an integral inequality and a matrix inequality, a delay-dependent sufficient condition for the existence of a network-based controller is formulated in terms of a linear matrix inequality by adjusting effective parameter matrices. In the approach, we do not directly employ the Lyapunov approach, as do in most of traditional fuzzy control design approaches. Instead, sufficient conditions for guaranteeing the robust stability for the considered networked systems are derived in terms of the matrix spectral norm of the closed-loop fuzzy system. The sufficient conditions are further formulated into linear matrix inequalities so that the desired controller can be easily obtained by using the Matlab LMI toolbox. An illustrative numerical example is also given to show the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
