contents This paper proposes a robust model reference adaptive controller (MRAC) for uncertain multi-input multi-output (MIMO) linear time-invariant (LTI) plants with user-defined constraints on the plant states, input amplitude, and input rate. The proposed two-layer barrier Lyapunov function (BLF)-based control design considers the input and the input rate as states that are constrained using two BLFs in the first layer, while another BLF in the second layer constrains the plant states. The adaptive control law ensures that the plant states, input amplitude, and input rate remain within the user-defined safe sets despite unmatched bounded disturbances. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a feasible control policy are also provided. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first optimization-free method that imposes user-defined constraints on the state, input, and input rate and also provides verifiable feasibility conditions in the presence of parametric uncertainties and disturbances. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
