This paper considers the observer-based output feedback robust model predictive control (RMPC) problem for systems with model uncertainties and possible measurement outliers. For the sake of alleviating the effects of possible abnormal measurements, we design a set of observer-based output feedback RMPC controllers with the saturation constraint where the saturation level is adaptive according to the estimation errors. The purpose of the addressed problem is to design a set of desired RMPC controllers so as to guarantee the robustness and the asymptotical stability of the closed-loop system. Sufficient stability conditions are obtained by solving a time-varying terminal constraint set of an auxiliary optimization problem, and the corresponding control law and the upper bound of the quadratic cost function are derived. In addition, an algorithm including both off-line and on-line parts is provided to find a sub-optimal solution. Finally, two simulation examples are employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed RMPC approach.
