Controller Design Based on Fuzzy Observers for T-s Fuzzy Bilinear Models

This article is devoted to the design of a fuzzy-observer-based control for a class of nonlinear systems with bilinear terms. The class of systems considered is the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy bilinear model. A new procedure to design the observer-based fuzzy controller for this class of systems is proposed. The aim is to design the fuzzy controller and the fuzzy observer of the augmented system separately in order to guarantee that the error between the state and its estimation converges faster to zero. By using the Lyapunov function, sufficient conditions are derived such that the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, sufficient conditions for controller design based on state estimation for robust stabilization of TS FBS with parametric uncertainties is proposed. The observer and controller gains are obtained by solving some linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
