Several control strategies have been proposed to deal with time delay, parametric uncertainties and nonlinearities for bilateral teleoperation. Furthermore, published works had shown that sliding mode control is a viable option to deal with parametric uncertainty and hard nonlinearities. In this paper, an impedance control based on sliding mode techniques is presented, to guarantee robust track...

Based on the mathematical model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), a novel sliding mode variable structure input-output feedback linearization controller is proposed. A precision linearization method is employed to achieve input-output linearization and decoupling control of the motor, which is decoupled into a second-order linear speed subsystem and a first-order linear d-axis c...

Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...

Aiming at a class of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with uncertainty, a sliding mode control algorithm based on neural network disturbance observer is designed and applied to ship yaw and roll joint stabilization. The nonlinear disturbance observer is finished by radial basis function neural network and with that a terminal sliding mode control algorithm is proposed. The asymptoti...

In this paper the estimation problem of the metabolic consumption rate in an underwater breathing apparatus is addressed. A sliding mode observer designed on a nonlinear model of the rebreather system is proposed. The design is based on Lyapunov techniques and a convergence analysis of the estimation error has been carried on. The effectiveness of the sliding observer has been validated through...

This paper investigates an improved stator flux linkage observer for sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives using a voltage-based flux linkage model and an adaptive sliding mode variable structure. We propose a new observer design that employs an improved sliding mode reaching law to achieve better estimation accuracy. The design includes two models and two adaptive estimat...

Abstract: In this paper, PD-like visual servoing is modified in two ways: a sliding-mode observer is applied to estimate the joint velocities, and a RBF neural network is used to compensate the unknown gravity and friction. Based on Lyapunov method and input--to-state stability theory, we prove that PD-like visual servoing with the sliding mode observer and the neuro compensator is robust stabl...
