Abstract: In this paper, the high accuracy motion output feedback control of a kind of launching platforms driven by motors is focused. The launching platform is used to launch kinetic load to hit the target so it is susceptible to external disturbance. In addition, significant issues arise due to limitations on the plant inputs, such as actuator energy limits and velocity state is usually unavailable due to the limitation of system cost and volume. A new adaptive fuzzy output feedback controller based on dual observers is proposed for solving these problems. A smooth and continuous model is established for input saturation to compensate it. A sliding mode observer and a fuzzy observer with proper membership function are combined to estimate the unmeasured system states more accurately. An adaptive robust controller and the fuzzy observer are combined to realize a motion control with disturbance rejection, which allows correct adaptation while the plant input is saturated. Lyapunov theorem proves the bounded stability of the proposed controller when there exists observation error. Extensive comparative simulation and experiment results verify the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed controller and show that the control accuracy can be improved by an order of magnitude compared with the traditional PID controller and better than some other nonlinear controllers.
