Abstract

In this article, the event-triggered fixed-time tracking control is investigated for uncertain strict-feedback nonlinear systems involving state constraints. By employing the universal transformed function (UTF) and coordinate transformation techniques into backstepping design procedure, the proposed control scheme ensures that all states are constrained within the time-varying asymmetric boundaries, and meanwhile, the undesired feasibility condition existing in other constrained controllers can be removed elegantly. Different from the existing static event-triggered mechanism, a dynamic event-triggered mechanism (DETM) is devised via constructing a novel dynamic function, so that the communication burden from the controller to actuator is further alleviated. Furthermore, with the aid of adaptive neural network (NN) technique and generalized first-order filter, together with Lyapunov theory, it is proved that the states of closed-loop system converge to small regions around zero with fixed-time convergence rate. The simulation results confirm the benefits of developed scheme.
