Abstract

In this paper, we study the robust trajectory tracking problem for a class of nonlinear systems with incremental passivity. The velocity of the desired trajectory and parts of the model information are unknown apart from boundedness assumptions. A velocity observer based method and a sliding mode controller are proposed while the asymptotic tracking result is guaranteed by a zero-state detectability condition for both cases. Unlike previous results, the studied systems are not necessarily feedback linearizable nor in a strict feedback form. The ball and beam system is utilized to illustrate the implementation of the proposed tracking control laws. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
