Abstract

Highlights: A multilayer-neural-network observer is proposed to realize the real-time state observation of switched nonlinear system. An observer error compensation mechanism makes up the gap between the system states and the estimated observer states. The backstepping controller realizes output tracking control of the arbitrary switching parameterized nonlinear system. Abstract: This study presents an output backstepping control architecture based on command filter via Multilayer-Neural-Network Pre-Observer with compensator to realise the reference signal tracking of an arbitrarily switching nonlinear systems with nonseperated parameter. First, a multilayer neural network pre-observer is designed before backstepping procedures to servo reconstruct the system states which can not be obtained directly. The pre-observer has superior performance in neutralizing the states abrupt chattering caused by the arbitrarily switching parameter entered in the nonlinear structure. Next, observer error compensation mechanism is designed to compensate the state estimation and shrink the approximation error domain further. Then, the backstepping controller with compensation signal based on command filter is presented to realise the stable reference signal tracking. Last, the proposed control scheme guarantees the states of the closed-loop system bounded. This mechanism makes up the shortcoming of the traditional state observer and give more flexibility in reconstructing the systems states timely, then overcomes the obstacle of the arbitrarily switching parameterized system. Furthermore, compared with the existing traditional uniform robust uncertain controller, the developed backstepping control method combining with the pre-observer not only guarantees the states servo reconstruction and servo control of the switched system, but also improves the tracking performance. Finally, a low-velocity servo turnable switched system is extensively simulated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed controller.
