Abstract: Presented is a method of continuous sliding mode control design to provide for the second-order sliding mode on the selected sliding surfaces in a three-loop control system, where two outer-loop virtual control signals must be smooth enough to be tracked in the inner loops. The control law in the vicinity of the sliding surface is a nonlinear dynamic feedback that in absence of unknow...

Second order sliding mode control synthesis is developed for underactuated mechanical systems, operating under uncertainty conditions. In order to locally stabilize an underactuated system around an unstable equilibrium, an output is specified in such a way that the corresponding zero dynamics is locally asymptotically stable. Then, the desired stability property of the closed-loop system is pr...

Most Fuzzy Controlers (FCs) for nonlinear 2nd order systems are designed with a two-dimensional phase plane in mind. We show that the performance and the robustness of this kind of FCs stems from their property of driving the system into the so-called sliding mode (SM) in which the controlled system is invariant to parameter fluctuations and disturbances. Additionally, the continuous distributi...

The robust sliding mode control problem of a class of uncertain hybrid linear systems with Markovian jump parameters is considered. Under the assumption of unknown upper bounds matched system uncertainties, the sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee exponentially stable in mean square of reduced-order sliding mode system. Under the conditions of unknown upper bounds of system uncertain...

The Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is well known by its robustness to parameter uncertainties or external disturbances. The repetitive control (RC) is able to track or reject periodic and multi-periodic signals. This paper presents a new control strategy as a combination of a Sliding Mode approach and Repetitive Control to reject periodic and multi-periodic disturbances in the case of nonlinear mul...

The sliding-mode controller (SMC) for the lateral motion control problem of Four Driving-Steering Wheels (4DW/SW) vehicle is presented in this paper. The lane centerline tracking is the main control performance. The dynamic model of the vehicle has been taken into account. Closed-loop robustness to uncertainties is achieved. The lane centerline tracking is achieved using look-ahead techniques. ...

In this study, nonlinear second order systems with unmeasured system states and bounded external disturbances are considered. The observer gain of the sliding mode observer is adjusted by using a support vector machine based plant model. Computer simulations are presented to show the effect of the proposed adjustment mechanism on the performance of the output feedback sliding mode controller. I...

The sliding mode control algorithm based on grey prediction theory is proposed in this study, aiming at the uncertainties in the servo system of fruit harvesting robot and the external disturbances that may affect the control quality of conventional sliding mode control algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses the grey theory ability to unknown information data to establish the grey model to the ...
