1. A method of adaptive control for an uncertain nonlinear multi-input multi-output system, the method comprising:
- providing a processor operable to execute a control law residing in a memory, the control law including a bandwidth-limited filter configuration, the control law configured to generate a control signal uc as an output of the bandwidth-limited filter configuration;
measuring a system state signal x;
generating a prediction of the system state {circumflex over (x)};
subtracting the prediction of the system state {circumflex over (x)} from the measured system state signal x, and producing an error signal {tilde over (x)};
generating estimates of uncertainties in the multi-input multi-output system; and
generating the control signal uc as an output of the bandwidth-limited filter configuration based on the generated estimates of uncertainties and the measured system state x.

Abstract
Systems and methods of adaptive control for uncertain nonlinear multi-input multi-output systems in the presence of significant unmatched uncertainty with assured performance are provided. The need for gain-scheduling is eliminated through the use of bandwidth-limited (low-pass) filtering in the control channel, which appropriately attenuates the high frequencies typically appearing in fast adaptation situations and preserves the robustness margins in the presence of fast adaptation.

16. An adaptive control system comprising:
-
a processor operable to execute a control law residing in a memory, the control law including a bandwidth-limited filter configuration, the control law configured to generate a control signal uc as an output of the bandwidth-limited filter configuration; and a state predictor configured to generate a prediction of a nonlinear multi-input multi-output system state {circumflex over (x)}, such that when the system state {circumflex over (x)} is subtracted from an actual system state x, an error signal is produced that, together with the actual system state x and the control signal uc, drives an adaptation process. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
