Robust fuzzy-model-based controller for uncertain systems

Abstract

This paper addresses the analysis and design of fuzzy control systems for a class of complex uncertain single input single output nonlinear systems. In the design procedure, we represent the nonlinear system using a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model and construct a global fuzzy logic controller by blending all local state feedback controllers with a sliding mode controller. Unlike the commonly used parallel distributed compensation technique, we can design a global stable fuzzy controller without finding a common Lyapunov function for all local control systems, and can obtain a good tracking performance. Furthermore, a stability analysis is carried out not for the fuzzy model but for a real nonlinear system with uncertainties. One simulation example is given to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed fuzzy controller design method.
