Disturbance observer-based adaptive neural network control of marine vessel systems with time-varying output constraints (Q2225219): Difference between revisions

Summary: This article investigates an adaptive neural network (NN) control algorithm for marine surface vessels with time-varying output constraints and unknown external disturbances. The nonlinear state-dependent transformation (NSDT) is introduced to eliminate the feasibility conditions of virtual controller. Moreover, the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is used to achieve time-varying output constraints. As an important approximation tool, the NN is employed to approximate uncertain and continuous functions. Subsequently, the disturbance observer is structured to observe time-varying constraints and unknown external disturbances. The novel strategy can guarantee that all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Finally, the simulation results verify the benefit of the proposed method.
