Auxiliary dynamics for observer design of nonlinear TS systems with unmeasurable premise variables
Abstract
In this paper, the problem of observers for Takagi-Sugeno (TS) models with unmeasurable premise variables is investigated and a new design approach is proposed. The idea, is motivated by the immersion techniques and auxiliary dynamics generation, and consists in the transformation of the TS system with state dependent weighting functions in a new TS system with weighting functions depending only on the measured variables. This result aims to relax the strong conditions used in the design of observers for TS systems with unmeasurable premise variables. Illustrative examples are provided to discuss the performances of the proposed approach.
