Abstract

In this paper, a problem of designing a switched dynamic output- feedback controller for a plant with time-invariant parametric uncer- tainties is considered. The controller is designed so that the switched closed-loop system satisfies the robust finite-time tracking property, i.e., the time-domain state trajectories with plant perturbations stay in a bounded neighbourhood of a desired state trajectory over a specified finite-time period. The design problem amounts to solving a feasibility problem, which involves a non-smooth function. A non-smooth descent method is applied to solve the feasibility problem numerically. The usefulness of the proposed design method is demonstrated through examples in a ball screw drive servo system and an inverted pendulum system.
