Abstract
In this paper, the problem of designing observers and observer-based controllers for a class of uncertain systems with input and state time lags is considered. We construct delay-type observers in which both the instantaneous as well as the delayed measurements are utilized. Using feedback control based on the reconstructed state, the behavior of the closed-loop system is investigated. It is established that the uncertain time-lag system with delay observer-based control is asymptotically stable. Expressions for the gain matrices are given based on two linear-matrix inequalities. A numerical example is given to illustrate the theoretical developments.
