Summary

This paper is concerned with the global output feedback stabilization for a class of nonholonomic systems with unknown parameter, polynomial-of-output, and unmeasurable states dependent growth. A dynamic high-gain observer is first designed to reconstruct the unmeasurable system states and, in addition, to compensate the serious parameter unknowns in nonlinear drifts. Then, we design a compact adaptive controller without invoking the backstepping technique, which reduces the complexity of controller. Additionally, a switching control strategy is employed to overcome the smooth feedback obstacle associated with nonholonomic systems. It is shown that the proposed control laws guarantee that all closed-loop system states are globally bounded and ultimately converge to zero. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
