Adaptive Tracking Control of Uncertain Euler-Lagrange Systems with State and Input Constraints

摘要

This paper proposes a novel control architecture for state and input constrained Euler-Lagrange (E-L) systems with parametric uncertainties. A simple saturated controller is strategically coupled with a Barrier Lyapunov Function (BLF) based controller to ensure state and input constraint satisfaction. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first result for E-L systems that guarantee asymptotic tracking with user-specified state and input constraints. The proposed controller also ensures that all the closed-loop signals remain bounded. The efficacy of the proposed controller in terms of constraint satisfaction and tracking performance is verified using simulation on a robot manipulator system.
