  The paper extends a recently proposed indirect, certainty-equivalence,
event-triggered adaptive control scheme to the case of non-observable
parameters. The extension is achieved by using a novel Batch Least-Squares
Identifier (BaLSI), which is activated at the times of the events. The BaLSI
guarantees the finite-time asymptotic constancy of the parameter estimates and
the fact that the trajectories of the closed-loop system follow the
trajectories of the nominal closed-loop system ("nominal" in the sense of the
asymptotic parameter estimate, not in the sense of the true unknown parameter).
Thus, if the nominal feedback guarantees global asymptotic stability and local
exponential stability, then unlike conventional adaptive control, the newly
proposed event-triggered adaptive scheme guarantees global asymptotic
regulation with a uniform exponential convergence rate. The developed adaptive
scheme is tested to a well-known control problem: the state regulation of the
wing-rock model. Comparisons with other adaptive schemes are provided for this
particular problem.
