Abstract: This paper presents an approximation-based nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) methodology for adaptive tracking of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems with unmatched external disturbances. Compared with existing control results using NDO for nonlinear systems in lower-triangular form, the major contribution of this study is to develop an NDO-based control framework in the presence of non-affine nonlinearities and disturbances unmatched in the control input. An approximation-based NDO scheme is designed to attenuate the effect of compounded disturbance terms consisting of external disturbances, approximation errors and control coefficient nonlinearities. The function approximation technique using neural networks is employed to estimate the unknown nonlinearities derived from the recursive design procedure. Based on the designed NDO scheme, an adaptive dynamic surface control system is constructed to ensure that all signals of the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error converges to a neighbourhood of the origin. Simulation examples including a mechanical system are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical result.
