Abstract:In order to overcome the dependence of event-triggering control on hardware devices and the limitation of frequent update of control strategy, a self-triggering mechanism is introduced for the finite time H∞ control problem of a class of uncertain Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems, and a fuzzy controller design method based on this mechanism is proposed. Based on the self-triggering mechanism and the idea of finite-time stability, by designing the triggering interval function, deducing and solving the linear matrix inequality (LMI), the system trajectory will not exceed a certain limit and reach the desired H∞ performance level under the premise of ensuring stability. At the same time, compared with the event trigger mechanism, the self-trigger mechanism is located in the system, without additional hardware devices to receive trigger signals, and only needs to use the current trigger state information to predict the next trigger moment, which further reduces the system resource cost to a certain extent. In addition, the stability of the system is analyzed strictly by means of Lyapunov function, and a proof to prevent Zeno phenomenon is provided. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerical simulation and example simulation of a single-link rigid robot system.
