The adaptive robust control (ARC) for DC motors subjected to parametric uncertainties, disturbances and input saturation is considered in this study. To achieve high performance while keeping the control authority within saturation limit, a saturated ARC scheme is proposed. In this scheme, a variable-gain saturation function is introduced for the virtual control law, so that the amplitude of th...

The control performance of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in complex environments can be affected by external disturbances and other factors. In this paper, an adaptive neural network backstepping controller based on the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is designed for a UAV with internal uncertainties, input–output constraints disturbances. Radial basis networks are used to approxima...

This paper presents a new state-space self-tuning control scheme for adaptive digital control of continuous multivariable nonlinear stochastic hybrid systems with input saturation. Here, the continuous nonlinear stochastic system is assumed to have unknown system parameters, system and measurement noises, and inaccessible system states. The proposed method enables the development of a digitally...
