A control problem of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems with a time-varying input delay and norm-bounded uncertainties is addressed. The input delay is well-known in making the closed-loop stabilization difficult. A sufficient condition for the robust fuzzy-model-based stabilization is derived based on the Lyapunov–Razumikhin stability theorem, without the assumption of the variation rate on the delay. A constructive design scheme is presented in the form of the iterative convex optimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a numerical simulation of a nonlinear mass-spring-damper system.
