description In this paper, a robust trajectory tracking control method with state constraints and uncertain disturbances on the ground of adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) is proposed for nonlinear systems. Firstly, the augmented system consists of the tracking error and the reference trajectory, and the tracking control problems with uncertain disturbances is described as the problem of robust control adjustment. In addition, considering the nominal system of the augmented system, the guaranteed cost tracking control problem is transformed into the optimal control problem by using the discount coefficient in the nominal system. A new safe Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation is proposed by combining the cost function with the control barrier function (CBF), so that the behavior of violating the safety regulations for the system states will be punished. In order to solve the new safe HJB equation, a critic neural network (NN) is used to approximate the solution of the safe HJB equation. According to the Lyapunov stability theory, in the case of state constraints and uncertain disturbances, the system states and the parameters of the critic neural network are guaranteed to be uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB). At the end of this paper, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by a simulation example.
