Abstract
This article concentrates on the event-driven controller design problem for a class of nonlinear single input single output parametric systems with full state constraints. A varying threshold for the triggering mechanism is exploited, which makes the communication more flexible. Moreover, from the viewpoint of energy conservation and consumption reduction, the system capability becomes better owing to the contribution of the proposed event-triggered mechanism. In the meantime, the developed control strategy can avoid the Zeno behavior since the lower bound of the sample time is provided. The considered plant is in a lower triangular form, in which the match condition is not satisfied. To ensure that all the states retain in a predefined region, a barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) based adaptive control law is developed. Due to the existence of the parametric uncertainties, an adaptive algorithm is presented as an estimated tool. All the signals appearing in the closed-loop systems are then proven to be bounded. Meanwhile, the output of the system can track a given signal as far as possible. In the end, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by an aircraft wing rock motion system.
