In this article, we investigate the saturation-tolerant prescribed control (SPC) for multiinput and multioutput nonlinear systems with unknown control directions and actuator faults. We propose a concise tunnel prescribed performance (TPP) with the control design independent of initial conditions and smaller overshoots achieved due to its tight feasible region. A novel auxiliary system, to tactfully establish a feedback mechanism between input saturation and prescribed performance, is constructed. By introducing the generated nonnegative modifications into the TPP, the resulted saturation-tolerant prescribed performance (SPP) is capable of flexibly degrading performance constraints in the case of saturation; and recovering back to the user-specified performance in the case without saturation. Furthermore, the proposed control scheme guarantees not only finite-time convergence, but also SPP-constrained tracking performance despite the input saturation and uncertainties. Finally, comparative results are provided to demonstrate the distinctive merit of the proposed SPC more than the traditional prescribed performance control.
