Motivated by the increasing concerns over environmental challenges such as global
warming and exhaustion of fossil-fuel reserves, the renewable energy industry has become …

The design of variable-structure control (VSC) systems for a class of multivariable, nonlinear,
time-varying systems is presented. Using the Utkin-Drazenovic method of equivalent control …

This study gives the mathematic model of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and
then proposes a robust nonlinear controller which combines the sliding-mode control …

This paper focuses on the trajectory tracking control of unmanned underwater vehicles
(UUVs) in the presence of dynamic uncertainties and time-varying external disturbances …

Apply Sliding Mode Theory to Solve Control Problems Interest in SMC has grown rapidly
since the first edition of this book was published. This second edition includes new results …

A tutorial account of variable structure control with sliding mode is presented. The purpose is
to introduce in a concise manner the fundamental theory, main results, and practical …

This tutorial/survey paper:(1) provides a concise point of departure for researchers and
practitioners alike wishing to assess the current state of the art in the control and monitoring …

The basic concepts, mathematics, and design aspects of variable-structure systems as well
as those with sliding modes as a principle operation mode are treated. The main arguments …

A new adaptive robot control algorithm is derived, which consists of a PD feedback part and
a full dynamics feedfor ward compensation part, with the unknown manipulator and payload …

A direct adaptive tracking control architecture is proposed and evaluated for a class of
continuous-time nonlinear dynamic systems for which an explicit linear parameterization of …
