In this work, a sliding-mode-based attitude controller constrained with the angular rate for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is addressed to withstand conditions below the allowable maximum angular velocity of UAVs in order to avoid the possibility of structural failure and to operate UAVs safely. The sliding mode controller suggested in this work defines a new sliding surface, inherently having two equilibrium points. These equilibrium points are carefully inspected, and the stability of the system controlled by means of the proposed approach is also analyzed using Lyapunov stability theory. To highlight the angular-rate constrained attitude control technique, a three-dimensional path is constructed using the Dubins path technique, and three-axis attitude commands for UAV are also generated by augmenting the line-of-sight algorithm. Compared with conventional sliding mode control measures, the excellent performance of the suggested control algorithm has been demonstrated by conducting numerical simulations.

This paper investigates the anti–synchronization problem between two different fractional-order chaotic and hyperchaotic systems using the modified adaptive sliding mode control technique in the presence of uncertain system parameters. To construct the proposed scheme, a simple sliding surface is first designed. Then, the modified adaptive sliding-mode controller is derived to guarantee the occurrence of sliding motion. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the adaptive controllers with corresponding parameter update laws are designed such that the different chaotic and hyperchaotic systems can be anti–synchronized asymptotically. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed anti–synchronization scheme.

A new fractional-order chaotic system is addressed in this paper. By applying the continuous frequency distribution theory, the indirect Lyapunov stability of this system is investigated based on sliding mode control technique. The adaptive laws are designed to guarantee the stability of the system with the uncertainty and external disturbance. Moreover, the modified generalized projection synchronization (MGPS) of the fractional-order chaotic systems is discussed based on the stability theory of fractional-order system, which may provide potential applications in secure communication. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

This paper investigates a new disturbance observer based non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control technique for the path tracking and stabilization of non-linear second-order systems with compound disturbance. The compound disturbance is comprised of both parametric and non-parametric uncertainties. While warranting fast convergence rate and robustness, it also dominates the singularity and complex-value number issues associated with conventional terminal sliding mode control. Furthermore, due to the estimation properties of the observer, knowledge about the bounds of the uncertainties is not required. The simulation results of two case studies, the velocity and path tracking of an autonomous underwater vehicle and the stabilization of a chaotic Φ6-Duffing oscillator, validate the efficacy of the proposed method.

Sliding mode control (SMC) is a widely used control law for quadrotor regulation and tracking control problems. The purpose of this article is to solve the tracking problem of quadrotors using a relatively novel nonlinear control law based on SMC that makes use of a conditional integrator. It is demonstrated by a motivation example that the proposed control law can improve the transient response and chattering shortcomings of the previous approaches of similar SMC based controllers. The adopted Newton–Euler model of quadrotor dynamics and controller design is treated separately in two subsystems: attitude and position control loops. The stability of the control technique is demonstrated by Lyapunov’s analysis and the effectiveness and performance of the proposed method are compared with a similar integral law, also based on SMC, and validated by tracking control problems using numerical simulations. Simulations were developed in the presence of external disturbances in order to evaluate the controller robustness. The effectiveness of the proposed controller was verified by performance indexes, demonstrating less accumulated tracking errors and control activity and improvement in the transient response and disturbance rejection when compared to a conventional integrator sliding mode controller.
