This article proposes a control scheme for formation of maneuvers of a team of mobile robots. The control scheme integrates the integral sliding mode control method with the nonlinear disturbance observer technique. The leader–follower formation dynamics suffer from uncertainties originated from the individual robots. The uncertainties challenge the formation control of such robots. Assuming that the uncertainties are unknown but bounded, an nonlinear disturbance observer-based observer is utilized to approximate them. The observer outputs feed on an integral sliding mode control-based controller. The controller and observer are integrated into the control scheme to realize formation maneuvers despite uncertainties. The formation stability is analyzed by means of the Lyapunov’s theorem. In the sense of Lyapunov, not only the convergence of the approximation errors is guaranteed but also such a control scheme can asymptotically stabilize the formation system. Compared to the results by the sole integral sliding mode control, some simulations are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the control scheme.

The trajectory-tracking performance of the automobile electro-coating conveying mechanism is severely interrupted by highly nonlinear crossing couplings, unmodeled dynamics, parameter variation, friction, and unknown external disturbance. In this article, a sliding mode control with a nonlinear disturbance observer is proposed for high-accuracy motion control of the conveying mechanism. The nonlinear disturbance observer is designed to estimate not only the internal/external disturbance but also the model uncertainties. Based on the output of the nonlinear disturbance observer, a sliding mode control approach is designed for the hybrid series–parallel mechanism. Then, the stability of the closed-loop system is proved by means of a Lyapunov analysis. Finally, simulations with typical desired trajectory are presented to demonstrate the high performance of the proposed composite control scheme.
