Nonlinear Robust Tracking Control of an Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System

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...

Dynamic Sliding Mode Control of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks

Dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) of nonlinear systems using neural networks is proposed. In DSMC the chattering is removed due to the integrator which is placed before the input control signal of the plant. However, in DSMC the augmented system is one dimension bigger than the actual system i.e. the states number of augmented system is more than the actual system and then to control of such ...

Optimal Control of Nonlinear Multivariable Systems

This paper concerns a study on the optimal control for nonlinear systems. An appropriate alternative in order to alleviate the nonlinearity of a system is the exact linearization approach. In this fashion, the nonlinear system has been linearized using input-output feedback linearization (IOFL). Then, by utilizing the well developed optimal control theory of linear systems, the compensated ...
