Event-Triggered Synergistic Controllers With Dwell-Time Transmission

Abstract

We propose novel event-triggered synergistic controllers for nonlinear continuous-time plants by incorporating event-triggered control into stabilizing synergistic controllers. We highlight that a naive application of common event-triggering conditions may not ensure dwell-time transmission due to the joint jumping dynamics of the closed-loop system. Under mild conditions, we develop a suite of event-triggered synergistic controllers that guarantee both dwell-time transmission and global asymptotic stability. Through numerical simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our controller applied to the problem of rigid body attitude stabilization.
