In this paper, a new adaptive fuzzy sliding mode (AFSM) observer is proposed which can be used for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems. In the proposed algorithm, the zero-input dynamics of the plant could be unknown. In this method, a fuzzy system is designed to estimate the nonlinear behavior of the observer. The output of fuzzy rules are tuned adaptively, based on the observer error. The output connection matrix is used to combine the observer errors of individual subsystems. A robust term, which is designed based on the sliding mode theory, is added to the observer to compensate the fuzzy estimation error. The estimation error bound is adjusted by an adaptive law. The main advantage of the proposed observer is that, unlike many of the previous works, the measured outputs is not limited to the first entries of a canonical-form state vector. The proposed observer estimates the closed-loop state tracking error asymptotically, provided that the output gain matrix includes Hurwitz coefficients. The chattering is eliminated by using boundary layers around the sliding surfaces and the observer convergence is proved using a Lyapunov-based approach. The proposed method is applied on a real multilink robot manipulator. The performance of the observer shows its effectiveness in the real world.
