in previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. the controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main issue ...

in this paper, an adaptive neuro fuzzy sliding mode based genetic algorithm (anfsga) controlsystem is proposed for a ph neutralization system. in ph reactors, determination and control of ph isa common problem concerning chemical-based industrial processes due to the non-linearity observedin the titration curve. an anfsga control system is designed to overcome the complexity of precisecontrol o...

In this study, nonlinear second order systems with unmeasured system states and bounded external disturbances are considered. The observer gain of the sliding mode observer is adjusted by using a support vector machine based plant model. Computer simulations are presented to show the effect of the proposed adjustment mechanism on the performance of the output feedback sliding mode controller. I...

This paper reviews recent automotive applications of sliding mode control. The design methods discussed include sliding mode optimization, integral sliding mode and higher order sliding mode. Examples of applications of conventional sliding mode as well as advanced techniques in vehicle suspension control, engine throttle position control, parameter estimation and fault diagnosis are summarized.

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...

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, a fault-tolerant control (FTC) method for robotic manipulators is proposed to deal with the lumped uncertainties and faults in case of lacking tachometer sensors system. First, third-order sliding mode (TOSM) observer performed approximate system velocities faults. This provides estimation information high precision, low chattering phenomenon, finite-time convergence. Then, an FT...

In this paper, we have exploited the first-order sliding mode control method to track the ECG data of the human heart by three different nonlinear control laws. In order to lessen the intrinsic chattering of the classic sliding mode control system, smooth function approximations of the control input, by means of the hyperbolic tangent and the saturation function, were used. The fast Fourier tra...
