In this paper, we propose a hierarchical sliding mode control approach for a fixed point regulation of pendulum-driven spherical mobile robots. A simplified dynamic model is established for their longitudinal motion and the controller is designed to have double layer structure because the system is divided into two subsystems. In the first layer, the sliding surfaces are hierarchically designed...

This paper deals with the problems of stochastic stability and sliding mode control for a class of continuous-time Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time-varying delays and partly unknown transition probabilities. The design method is general enough to cover a wide spectrum of systems from those with completely known transition probability rates to those with completely unknown transit...

A switched implementation of average dynamic output feedback laws trough a Σ-∆-modulator, widely known in the classic communications and analog signal encoding literature, not only frees the sliding mode control approach from state measurements and the corresponding synthesis of sliding surfaces in the plant’s state space, but it also allows to effectively transfer all desired closed loop featu...

this paper presents a new control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems. in the proposed method, an adaptive neural network observer with rise feedback controller are applied to realize sensorless control scheme. this observer is tuned online and no exact information of nonlinear term of plant is required. so, this characteristic can compensate mismodeling phenomena. also, a new controller ca...

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...

Designing a robust tracking control for a non-linear MIMO system with uncertainty is one of the most complicated control problems. In this paper, sliding mode changed to non-linear controllable canonical form by input-output linearization. This, sliding surfaces can be defined in a way that we can de-couple equations and indicate the sliding conditions of multi-variable controller system. The u...

This paper addresses control design in networked control system by considering stochastic packet dropouts in the forward path of the control loop. The packet dropouts are modelled by mutually independent stochastic variables satisfying Bernoulli binary distribution. A sliding mode controller is utilized to overcome the adverse influences of stochastic packet dropouts in networked control system...

In this paper, using the State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) method, we propose a Robust Optimal Integral Sliding Mode Controller (ROISMC) to guarantee an optimal control law for a quadrotor which has become increasingly important by virtue of its high degrees of manoeuvres ability in presence of unknown time-varying external disturbances and actuator fault. The robustness of the controller...

In this paper control of Goertzel Algorithm based shunt active power filter with sliding mode controller is considered. Shunt active power filter involves harmonics mitigation due to three phase non linear loads under balanced and unbalanced load conditions. The sliding mode controller is used to regulate voltage of the capacitor used in inverter. The sliding mode controller improves the dynami...

This paper develops an improved robust multi-surface sliding mode controller for a complicated five degrees of freedom Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System with floating base. The proposed method combines the robust controller with some corrective terms to decrease the tracking error in transient and steady state. This approach improves the performance of the nonlinear dynamic control scheme a...
