This paper focuses on the development of a robust fuzzy sliding-mode scheme for controlling a vehicle motion system by continuously adjusting the brake torque, Fuzzy logic known for its properties of universal approximator and sliding mode control for its robustness in the presence of parameter variations and the disturbances are employed to control the wheel slip rate in emergency braking mane...

Accuracy of tracking and robustness are very important specifications in control of parallel robots. Classical control methods could not satisfy these requirements in parallel robots, simultaneously. Sliding mode control solves problems of accurate tracking, but it is not robust enough because of influence of chattering phenomena. Implementation of fuzzy logic in sliding mode enhances robustnes...

This paper concentrates on the Doppler spectrum characteristics of hybrid bistatic SAR experiments, i.e., TerraSAR-X/PAMIR where TerraSAR-X was steered as the illuminator in the sliding spotlight mode, and PAMIR, mounted on a Transall C-160, operated in the inverse sliding spotlight mode. The bistatic Double Sliding Spotlight (DSS) experiment has been successfully performed in March 2009. For t...

Sliding mode is used in order to retain a dynamic system accurately at a given constraint and is the main operation mode in variable structure systems. Such mode is a motion on a discontinuity set of a dynamic system and features theoretically-infinite-frequency switching. The standard sliding modes are known to feature finite time convergence, precise keeping of the constraint and robustness w...

Controlling an underactuated manipulator with less actuators than degrees of freedom is a challenging problem, specifically when it is to force the underactuated manipulator to track a given trajectory or to be configurated at a specific position in the work space. This paper presents two controllers for the set point regulation of 2-DOF underactuated manipulators. The first one is a cascade sl...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sliding spotlight work mode can achieve high resolutions and wide swath (HRWS) simultaneously by steering the radar antenna beam. This paper aims to obtain well focused images using sliding spotlight mode with the Chinese Gaofen-3 SAR sensor. We proposed an integrated imaging scheme with sliding spotlight echoes. In the imaging scheme, the two-step approach is app...

Combining fuzzy logic controller and sliding mode controller to exploit the superior sides of these two controllers is an active area in control theory. The dynamic behaviour of the hybrid system named as fuzzy sliding mode controller depends quite heavily on the sliding surface on which the control structure is switched. In this study, the slope of the sliding surface is continuously updated b...

In this article, a neural integral sliding mode control strategy is presented for the finite-time fault-tolerant attitude tracking of rigid spacecraft subject to unknown inertia and disturbances. First, an controller was developed by originally constructing novel surface avoid singularity problem. Then, network (NN) embedded into compensate lumped uncertainty replace robust switching term. way,...

In this paper, a novel adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control method is proposed for the robust tracking control of robotic manipulators. The proposed controller possesses the advantages of adaptive control, fuzzy control, and sliding mode control. First, system stability and robustness are guaranteed based on the sliding mode control. Further, fuzzy rules are developed incorporating with adaptati...

Abstract: The problem of static output feedback sliding mode control for a class of nonlinear delay systems with norm-bounded uncertainties is considered in this paper. Based on Linear matrix inequality approach, a new approach is given to design the static output feedback sliding mode surface. Then, a sliding mode controller is obtained which make the systems states reach the sliding mode surf...
