ABSTRACT

This chapter is concerned with the tracking control problem of a class of unknown

nonaffine dynamic systems that involve unpredictable sensor and actuation failures.

As the control inputs enter the system and influence its behavior through a nonlinear

and implicit way, control design for such systems becomes quite challenging. The

underlying problem becomes even more complex if the system dynamics is

unavailable for control design yet involves unanticipated sensor and/or actuator

faults. In this chapter, a generalized PI control is developed for a class of nonaffine

systems in the presence of sensor and actuator faults.
