Partial-state Feedback Stabilization for a Class of Generalized Nonholonomic Systems with ISS Dynamic Uncertainties

In this paper, the problem of global stabilization control via partial-state feedback is addressed for a class of uncertain nonholonomic systems with the disturbed virtual control directions. The investigated nonholonomic system has the input-to-state stable (ISS) dynamic uncertainties. The small gain theorem and the changing supply function technique are employed to derive a global stabilization controller. Additionally, we develop a switching control strategy in order to get around the smooth stabilization burden associated with nonholonomic systems. The simulation results illustrate the efficacy of the presented algorithm.
