Abstract

In this article, an original event-triggered model-free adaptive control is presented for nonlinear systems with output constraints. Firstly, a compact form dynamic linear model for this nonlinear system is established. Based on the output saturated data, the pseudo partial derivative (PPD) parameter is designed to identify the linear model. Then, a novel event-triggered mechanism is inserted into the controller. The mechanism will be activated only if the event-triggered error satisfies the predefined condition; Otherwise, it keeps the last triggering state. The purpose is to alleviate the transmission burden and save the communication resources. Varying from the existing studies, the main innovation of this article is that the controller is reconstructed in virtue of saturated data and event-triggered condition. The present algorithm convergence is proved. Finally, the simulation study illustrates the feasibility of the plan.
