This paper proposes a higher order sliding mode controller for uncertain robot manipulators. The motivation for using high order sliding mode mainly relies on its appreciable features, such as high precision and elimination of chattering in addition that assure the same performance of conventional sliding mode like robustness. Instead of a regular control input, the derivative of the control in...

The second derivative sign-equality assumption has to be made for the derivation of expressions for higher-order derivatives of chattering system variables in the qualitative simulation of models containing monotonic function constraints . Kuipers et al. [1] established this method and showed that prediction failure is possible when the sign-equality assumption is utilized . We present a closer...

It is well known that sliding-mode control can give good transient performance and system robustness. However, the presence of chattering may introduce problems to the actuators. Many chattering elimination methods use a finite dc gain controller which leads to a finite steady-state error. One method to ensure zero steady-state error is using a proportional plus integral (PI) controller. This p...

This chapter develops a sliding mode and fuzzy logic-based speed controller, which is named adaptive fuzzy sliding-mode controller (AFSMC) for an indirect fieldoriented control (IFOC) of an induction motor (IM) drive. Essentially, the boundary layer approach is the most popular method to reduce the chattering phenomena, which leads to trade-off between control performances, and chattering elimi...

Physical sensors have a key role in implementation of real-time vector control for an induction motor (IM) drive. This paper presents a novel boundary layer fuzzy controller (NBLFC) based on the boundary layer approach for speed control of an indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) of an induction motor (IM) drive using physical sensors. The boundary layer approach leads to a trade-off between c...

one of the most important challenges in nonlinear, multi-input multi-output (mimo) and time variant systems (e.g., robot manipulator) is designing a controller with acceptable performance. this paper focused on design a new artificial non linear controller with on line tunable gain applied in the robot manipulator. the sliding mode fuzzy controller (smfc) was designed as 7 rules mamdani’s infer...

Chattering alarms, which repeatedly and rapidly make transitions between alarm and normal states in a short time period, are the most common form of nuisance alarms that severely degrade the performance of alarm systems for industrial plants. One reason for chattering alarms is the presence of oscillation in process signals. The paper proposes an online method to promptly detect the chattering ...
