  • This paper addresses the problem of asymptotic tracking for high-order control-affine MIMO nonlinear systems with unknown dynamic terms subject to input and transient state constraints. We introduce Barrier Integral Control (BRIC), a novel algorithm designed to confine the system's state within a predefined funnel, ensuring adherence to the transient state constraints, and asymptotically drive it to a given reference trajectory from any initial condition. The algorithm leverages the innovative integration of a reciprocal barrier function and error-integral terms, featuring smooth feedback control. We further develop an extension of the algorithm, entailing continuous feedback, that uses a reference-modification technique to account for the input-saturation constraints. Notably, BRIC operates without relying on any information or approximation schemes for the (unknown) dynamic terms, which, unlike a large class of previous works, are not assumed to be bounded or to comply with globally Lipschitz/growth conditions. Additionally, the system's trajectory and asymptotic performance are decoupled from the uncertain model, control-gain selection, and initial conditions. Finally, comparative simulation studies validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
