In this study, we propose a secure communication scheme based on the synchronization of two identical fractional-order chaotic systems. The fractional-order derivative is in Caputo sense, and for synchronization, we use a robust sliding-mode control scheme. The designed sliding surface is taken simply due to using special technic for fractional-order systems. Also, unlike most manuscripts, the ...

Recently developed, second-order sliding-mode control (2-SMC) algorithms are analyzed to assess their global convergence properties. While standard first-order sliding-mode control (1-SMC) algorithms derive their effectiveness from the global solution of the well known “reaching condition” _ ( = 0 being the actual sliding manifold), 2-SMC is based on more complex differential inequalities, for ...

This paper is to present a new design of robust Iterative Learning Control (ILC) for the purpose of output tracking using continuous sliding mode technique. The main feature of the design is that the controller signal is continuous due to the use of integral and employment of second-order sliding mode technique. The proposed ILC is more robust to noises and disturbances than the saturation appr...

The motion control problem for the finger of a humanoid robot hand is investigated. First, the index finger of the human hand is dynamically modelled as a kinematic chain of cylindrical links. During construction of the model, special attention is given to determining bone dimensions and masses that are similar to the real human hand. After the kinematic and dynamic analysis of the model, in or...

This paper investigates the output feedback control problem of a vehicle platoon with a constant time headway (CTH) policy, where each vehicle can communicate with its consecutive vehicles. Firstly, based on the integrated-sliding-mode (ISM) technique, a neural adaptive sliding-mode control algorithm is developed to ensure that the vehicle platoon is moving with the CTH policy and full state me...

This manuscript addresses trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on the horizontal plane. Adaptive sliding mode control is employed in order to achieve a robust behavior against some uncertainty and ocean current disturbances, assuming that disturbance and its derivative are bounded by unknown boundary levels. The proposed approach is based on a dual layer adaptive...

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...
