Summary This paper deals with the problem of stabilizing a class of input‐delayed systems with (possibly) nonlinear uncertainties by using explicit delay compensation. It is well known that plain predictive schemes lack robustness with respect to uncertain model parameters. In this work, an uncertainty estimator is derived for input‐delay systems and combined with a modified state predictor, which uses current available information of the estimated uncertainties. Furthermore, based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, a computable criterion to check robust stability of the closed‐loop is developed and cast into a minimization problem constrained to an LMI. Additionally, for a given input delay, an iterative‐LMI algorithm is proposed to design stabilizing tuning parameters. The main results are illustrated and validated using a numerical example with a second‐order dynamic system. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
