Robust Adaptive Learning Control for a Class of Non-affine Nonlinear Systems

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We address the tracking problem for a class of uncertain non-affine nonlinear systems with high relative degrees, performing non-repetitive tasks. We propose a rigorously proven, robust adaptive learning control scheme that relies on a gradient descent parameter adaptation law to handle the unknown time-varying parameters of the system, along with a state estimator that estimates the unmeasurable state variables. Furthermore, despite the inherently complex nature of the non-affine system, we provide an explicit iterative computation method to facilitate the implementation of the proposed control scheme. The paper includes a thorough analysis of the performance of the proposed control strategy, and simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
