Sliding mode control (SMC) has been a very popular technology due to its simplicity and robustness against uncertainties disturbances since inception more than 60 years ago. Its foundation of stability stabilization is built on the principle Lyapunov theory which ascertains asymptotic stability. In 1990s, novel class SMC, called terminal sliding (TSMC), was proposed studied applied extensively,...

This paper presents a trajectory tracking control method for nonholonomic mobile robot which is based only on kinematic model. A mobile robot trajectory tracking control method, based on terminal sliding mode control, with asymptotic stability is presented. Based on kinematic model of mobile robot, a terminal sliding mode control law for the angular velocity is proposed to reduce the tracking e...

This paper proposes a second-order terminal sliding mode control for a class of uncertain input-delay systems. The input-delay systems are firstly converted into the input-delay free systems and further converted into the regular forms. A linear sliding mode manifold is predesigned to represent the ideal dynamics of the system. Another terminal sliding mode manifold surface is presented to driv...

In this paper, an almost new control approach called terminal synergetic control which works based on user defined manifold is applied to a nonlinear helicopter model. Stability analysis is convestigated using Lyapunov stability theory. Synergetic controller is applied to this nonlinear fifth-order helicopter model to control height and angle. Simulation results showed that it has faster and sm...

In this paper, a new terminal sliding mode control approach is developed for robotic manipulators. Unlike traditional terminal sliding mode control, the proposed approach can make system states converge to zero in a finite time without requiring explicitly using of system dynamic model. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are presented to illustrate the proposed approach. The controller...

Absrrucr In this paper, a new fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is proposed for second-order linear timevarying systems in order to obtain faster error convergence and desired error dynamics. It is well known that a second-order linear time-varying system can be used to model higher order linear time invariant systems piece-wisely. Therefore, it is necessary to do deep investigation for the sta...

The bifurcation and chaos phenomenon which exist in power grid are threats to the stable operation of power grid and the safety of people and equipment. In order to eliminate the chaos phenomena in power grid, a kind of non-singular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) variable structure control method based on immune algorithm is put forward. The second-order model of grid chaotic oscillation is built...
