Estimator-based neural adaptive event-triggered control for strict-feedback nonlinear systems with incomplete measurements.

This article addresses a neural adaptive event-triggered tracking control for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear dynamics with incomplete measurements, which is novel on the research of Cyber-physical Systems. The incomplete measurement problem caused by packet loss, saturation, and other issues during data transmission can lead to the unavailability of system state variables, which can degrade system performance and even lead to instability. To solve these problems, a state estimator for data-losing case and two controllers for normal and data-losing cases are designed utilising event-triggered strategies which can reduce the burden of calculation and data transmission. Radial basis function neural networks are adopted to approximate the unknown nonlinear system functions. A strict stability analysis in probability shows that the control laws for the considered strict-feedback nonlinear system can guarantee all the closed-loop to be uniformly ultimately bounded in mean square. Two examples are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the provided control method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
