Immersion and Invariance Adaptive Control for a Class of Nonlinear Systems With Uncertain Parameters

An adaptive control method based on immersion and invariance (I&I) is presented in a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying uncertain parameters. A parameter estimation law based on reference models using I&I is designed to accelerate the convergence of estimated parameters to the true value, enabling the closed-loop system to reach the predefined target system on the manifold more quickly and reducing the energy consumption of the system. The inherent integrability obstacles in I&I are overcome by using dynamic scaling techniques, reducing the complexity of controller design. Stability analysis of the closed-loop system demonstrates that the proposed control method can achieve asymptotic stability control of the target system, and verified the robustness of the closed-loop system in the face of external disturbances. Finally, simulations of attitude tracking control demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
