This article investigates an observer-based robust model predictive control (RMPC) design to control the uncertain discrete-time linear systems with disturbances. To make a more practical scheme, it is supposed that the uncertain system has been faced with unknown disturbance and input constraints. The proposed RMPC approach is based on a state feedback control design that ensures the performance criterion to attenuate disturbance affections. Furthermore, in view of practical application, the control law is constructed based on the estimated states obtained from the Luenberger observer. Based on Lyapunov’s theory, the input to state practically stability (ISPS) of the closed-loop system is ensured. Appropriate conditions for the ISPS of the closed-loop system and the estimation error are obtained in terms of online linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which lead to obtaining the time-varying gain matrices of both controller and observer. Finally, to validate the obtained results, the proposed approach is applied to a numerical example and it is compared with the existing control scheme and the superiority is proved.
