Abstract: A hierarchical sliding mode control approach is proposed for a class of SIMO under-actuated systems. This class of under-actuated systems is made up of several subsystems. Based on this physical structure, the hierarchical structure of the sliding surfaces is designed as follows. At first, the sliding surface of every subsystem is defined. Then the sliding surface of one subsystem is ...

Under-actuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has recently been investigated for hierarchical sliding mode control since these systems require complex computations. However, the instability phenomena possibly occur especially for long-term operations. In this paper, a new design approach of an adaptive fuzzy hier...

This paper designs an Optimized Adaptive Combined Hierarchical Sliding Mode Controller (OACHSMC) for a time-varying crane model in presence of uncertainties. Uncertainties have always been one of the most important challenges in designing control systems, which include the unknown parameters or un-modeled dynamics in the systems. Sliding mode controller (SMC) is able to compensate the system in...

In this paper, experimental study of robust control for robot manipulator actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles was realized. The experimented controller belonged to the class of variable structure systems which is called nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM). The control approach is based on the time delay estimation method. First, the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control approach w...

In this paper, we extend the sliding mode idea to a class of unmatched uncertain variable structure systems. This method is achieved with introducing a new terminal sliding variable and the finite time stability of proposed method is proved using a new particular finite time condition in both reaching and sliding phases. In reaching phase new sliding mode controller is derived to guarantee the ...

This paper presents the design of an integral sliding-mode controller for a piezoelectric-actuated system. The sliding-mode disturbance (uncertainty) estimation and compensation scheme is used. The nonlinear piezoelectric-actuated system is modeled as a first order linear model coupled with a hysteresis. When the model is identified, the hysteresis nonlinearity is linearized then the linear sys...

The bridge crane system is a typical under-actuated that widely used in production and life. Although various scholars have conducted extensive research on the recent years, there are still many problems, such as trajectory planning of cart anti-sway control cargo. In order to tackle problem cargo, hierarchical global fast terminal sliding-mode (H-GFTSMC) developed this work. First, Lagrange eq...
