Abstract: | In this paper, the event-triggered adaptive control for a class of nonlinear systems in Brunovsky form is considered. The sensors are event-triggered thus the states are transmitted only at the discrete triggering points, which are more efficient in using communication bandwidth. To solve this problem, we design a set of event-triggered conditions and based on which the controller and parameter estimator are designed without the ISS assumption. It is shown that the proposed control schemes guarantee that all the closed-loop signals are semi-globally bounded and the stabilization error converges to the origin asymptotically. The Zeno behavior is also excluded. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of our scheme. |
