This paper presents a gain scheduling output feedback control method to reduce driver workload and improve driving performance by considering input saturation. The driver–vehicle system model is developed by considering tire cornering stiffness uncertainties and different driver parameter uncertainties. Meanwhile, the input saturation is also considered in the driver-vehicle system. A quadratic Lyapunov function is designed to solve the optimization problem with uncertainties and input saturation. The results, which are based on the MATLAB-CarSim co-simulation platform, indicate that the robust controller not only improves the convergence rate of the state but also reduces the steering workload of the driver.

In this paper, we consider the control issues of the two-dimensional translational oscillator with rotational actuator (2DTORA) system, which has two translational carts and one rotational rotor. An output feedback controller for the 2DTORA system is proposed, which can prevent the unwinding behaviour. In addition, the velocity signal unavailability and actuator saturation are taken into account, simultaneously. In particular, the dynamics of the 2DTORA system are given first. On the basis of the passivity and control objectives of the 2DTORA system, an elaborate Lyapunov function is constructed. Then, based on the introduced Lyapunov function, a novel output feedback control method is proposed straightforwardly for the 2DTORA system. Lyapunov theory and LaSalle’s invariance principle are utilized to analyse the stability of the closed-loop system and the convergence of the states. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the excellent control performance of the proposed controller in comparison with the existing method.

This paper presents the stabilization for positive nonlinear systems using polynomial fuzzy models. To conform better to the practical scenarios that system states are not completely measurable, the static output feedback (SOF) control strategy instead of the state feedback control method is employed to realize the stability and positivity of the positive polynomial fuzzy system (PPFS) with satisfying L1-induced performance. However, some troublesome problems in analysis and control design will follow, such as the non-convex problem. Fortunately, by doing mathematical tricks, the non-convex problem is skillfully dealt with. Furthermore, the neglect of external disturbances may lead to a great negative impact on the performance of positive systems. For the sake of guaranteeing the asymptotic stability and positivity under the satisfaction of the optimal performance of the PPFS, it is significant to take the L1-induced performance requirement into consideration as well. In addition, a linear co-positive Lyapunov function is chosen so that the positivity can be extracted well and the stability analysis becomes simple. By using the sum of squares (SOS) technique, the convex stability and positivity conditions in the form of SOS are derived. Eventually, for illustrating the advantages of the proposed method, a simulation example is shown in the simulation section.
