The existing obstacle avoidance results do not consider velocity constraints under input saturation, which means that an EL system may not be able to obtain sufficient control inputs to avoid a collision with an obstacle if it has a high speed when approaching the obstacle. Therefore, the velocity constraints in the obstacle avoidance tracking control are considered in this paper. A novel velocity constraint function that depends on the distance between the system and the obstacle is proposed. Integral-multiplicative Lyapunov-barrier functions (LBFs) are constructed and incorporated into the backstepping procedure to design an adaptive fuzzy obstacle avoidance tracking control scheme. Moreover, an auxiliary dynamic system is designed by constructing a bounded nonlinear vector related to an auxiliary variable to compensate for the effects of saturation. Through the Lyapunov method and boundedness analysis for the barrier function, it is shown that the protocol achieves obstacle avoidance for the EL system without violating the velocity constraints inside the obstacle detection region, while also guaranteeing the ultimate uniform boundedness of all the closed-loop signals.

A continuously switched adaptive tuning mechanism for neural network learning is developed by applying the average dwell time (ADT). First, a neural-network-based PT tracking control design strategy using the ADT-based adaptive tuning mechanism is established for switched nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form. A novel adaptive dynamic surface controller is designed recursively using a practical finite-time scaling function and continuously switched tuning parameters. The switched adaptive tuning laws for neural networks are structured to reduce the conservatism associated with common adaptive laws. Then, a filter-based tuning approach is employed to ensure the continuity of switched adaptive parameters with ADT in the designed controller. The practical PT stability of the closed-loop system is demonstrated based on the boundedness of the adaptive parameters. Building upon this foundation, the proposed PT design approach is extended to control switched pure-feedback nonlinear systems, even in cases where control directions are unspecified. The unknown sign problem encountered with switched virtual and actual control coefficient functions is resolved in the PT control framework. It is shown that the PT performance bound of the tracking error can be reduced by selecting the design parameter of the scaling function.
