This article addresses the issue of the fuzzy adaptive prescribed performance control (PPC) design for nonstrict feedback multiple input multiple output (MIMO) nonlinear systems in finite time. Unknown nonlinear functions are handled via fuzzy-logic systems (FLSs). By combining the adaptive backstepping control algorithm and the nonlinear filters, a novel dynamic surface control (DSC) method is proposed, which can not only avoid the computational complexity issue but also improve the control performance in contrast to the traditional DSC control methods. Furthermore, to make the tracking errors have the prescribed performance in finite time, a new Lyapunov function is constructed by considering the transform error constraint. Based on the designed Lyapunov functions, it is proved that all the signals of the controlled systems are semiglobal practical finite-time stability (SGPFS). Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the put forward control scheme.
