This paper investigates the course keeping control problem for an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) in the presence of unknown disturbances and system uncertainties. The simulation study combines two different types of sliding mode surface based control approaches due to its precise tracking and robustness against disturbances and uncertainty. Firstly, an adaptive linear sliding mode surface algorithm is applied, to keep the yaw error within the desired boundaries and then an adaptive integral non-linear sliding mode surface is explored to keep an account of the sliding mode condition. Additionally, a method to reconfigure the input parameters in order to keep settling time, yaw rate restriction and desired precision within boundary conditions is presented. The main strengths of proposed approach is simplicity, robustness with respect to external disturbances and high adaptability to static and dynamics reference courses without the need of parameter reconfiguration.

This paper focuses on an issue involving robust adaptive path following for the uncertain underactuated unmanned surface vehicle with time-varying large sideslips angle and actuator saturation. An improved line-of-sight guidance law based on a reduced-order extended state observer is proposed to address the large sideslip angle that occurs in practical navigation. Next, the finite-time disturbances observer is designed by considering the perturbations parameter of the model and the unknown disturbances of the external environment as the lumped disturbances. Then, an adaptive term is introduced into Fast Non-singular Terminal Sliding Mode Control to design the path following controllers. Finally, considering the saturation of actuator, an auxiliary dynamic system is introduced. By selecting the appropriate design parameters, all the signals of the whole path following a closed-loop system can be ultimately bounded. Real-time control of path following can be achieved by transferring data from shipborne sensors such as GPS, combined inertial guidance and anemoclinograph to the Fast Non-singular Terminal Sliding Mode controller. Two examples as comparisons were carried out to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control approach.

A novel input–output linearization minimum sliding mode error feedback control (I/OMSMEFC) is proposed for the synchronization between two uncoupled FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) neurons with different ionic currents and external electrical stimulations. To estimate and offset the system uncertainties and external disturbances, the concept of equivalent control error is introduced, which is the key to utilization of I/OMSMEFC. A cost function is formulated on the basis of the principle of minimum sliding mode covariance constraint; then the equivalent control error is estimated and fed back. It is shown that the proposed I/OMSMEFC can compensate various kinds of system uncertainties and external disturbances. Meanwhile, it can reduce the steady-state error more than the conventional sliding mode control (SMC). In addition, the sliding mode after the I/OMSMEFC will tend to be the ideal SMC, resulting in improved control performance and quantity. Sufficient conditions are given based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of presented I/OMSMEFC for the chaotic synchronization accurately.

In this article, a singularity-free terminal sliding mode (SFTSM) control scheme based on the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed for the quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (QUAVs) under the presence of inertia uncertainties and external disturbances. Firstly, a singularity-free terminal sliding mode surface (SFTSMS) is constructed to achieve the finite-time convergence without any piecewise continuous function. Then, the adaptive finite-time control is designed with an auxiliary function to avoid the singularity in the error-related inverse matrix. Moreover, the RBFNN and extended state observer (ESO) are introduced to estimate the unknown disturbances, respectively, such that prior knowledge on system model uncertainties is not required for designing attitude controllers. Finally, the attitude and angular velocity errors are finite-time uniformly ultimately bounded (FTUUB), and numerical simulations illustrated the satisfactory performance of the designed control scheme.

This paper aims to address the attitude stabilization issue of post-capture combination with underactuated actuators, measurement inaccuracy and unknown external disturbances during on-orbit servicing. A precise and practical form of underactuated attitude dynamics is proposed for the asymmetric combination with two control torques. With the adopted partial stabilization strategy, a sliding mode controller is first proposed to achieve partial stabilization of the combination against the effect of unknown external disturbances. Through the additional consideration of the measurement inaccuracy in the inertia tensor and the mass centroid, an underactuated adaptive sliding mode controller with compensation laws is proposed in presence of uncertainties and disturbances. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of proposed partial attitude stabilization controllers.

Proposed in this paper is a model-free and chattering-free second order sliding mode control (2nd-SMC) in combination with a backpropagation neural network (BP-NN) control scheme for underwater vehicles to deal with external disturbances (i.e., ocean currents) and parameter variations caused, for instance, by the continuous interchange of tools. The compound controller, here called the neuro-sliding control (NSC), takes advantage of the 2nd-SMC robustness and fast response to drive the position tracking error to zero. Simultaneously, the BP-NN contributes with its capability to estimate and to compensate online the hydrodynamic variations of the vehicle. When a change in the vehicle’s hydrodynamics occurs, the 2nd-SMC may no longer be able to compensate for the variations since its feedback gains are tuned for a different condition; thus, in order to preserve the desired performance, it is necessary to re-tune the feedback gains, which a cumbersome and time consuming task. To solve this, a viable choice is to implement a BP-NN control scheme along with the 2nd-SMC that adds or removes energy from the system according to the current condition it is in, in order to keep, or even improve, its performance. The effectiveness of the proposed compound controller was supported by experiments carried out on a mini-ROV.

This study addresses an adaptive two-stage sliding mode control (SMC) scheme for the state synchronization between two identical systems, which belong to a kind of n-dimensional chaotic system, by considering the appearance of lumped system uncertainties and external disturbances. The controlled system is assumed to be attached to sector nonlinearity for the control input. The proposed adaptive control scheme involves time-variable state-feedback gains, which are updated in accordance with the appropriate adapted rules without foreknown the certain information of nonlinear system dynamics, bounds of lumped system uncertainties and external disturbances, and sector input nonlinearity. The derivation of the control scheme is found based on the introduced sequence of two sliding functions. The stage 1 sliding function is defined by the states of the error dynamical system, where the asymptotical stability is inherent. Then, the stage 2 sliding function is formed by the stage 1 function, where the finite-time stabilization is guaranteed. The proposed adaptive control scheme can cope with the effect of sector nonlinearity for the control to meet the control goal. The sufficient conditions of the stability of the error dynamical system are proven mathematically by means of the Lyapunov theorem. Besides, the capacity of the present scheme is carried out by the numerical studies.

In robot control, the sliding mode control is known for its robustness against external disturbances and system uncertainties. However, it has the disadvantage of control chattering, which can damage the actuator and degrade system performance. With a new stability proof, this paper presents an alternative simple linear feedback control that can cope with large system uncertainties and suppress large external disturbances, doing so as effectively as sliding mode control does. The advantage of using linear control is that the control law is simple and control chattering can be avoided. Moreover, a noise-free control scheme is proposed as an improvement of the feedback control; the modified design preserves the advantages of linear control and generates a chattering-free control signal even in a noisy environment.

The purpose of this study is to develop the adaptive terminal sliding mode scheme to control a MEMS resonator with a six-powered potential function for tracking a given reference signal in the presence of system uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed adaptive controller includes the time-varying feedback gains can tackle the nonlinear dynamics without directly eliminating. Meanwhile, these time-varying feedback gains are adaptively updated according to the suitable updated rules without the known bounds of system uncertainties and external disturbances. Some sufficient conditions to guarantee the stability based on Lyapunov theory and numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented scheme.

The problem of station-keeping attitude tracking control for an autonomous airship with system uncertainties and external disturbances is investigated. Adaptive laws are applied to estimate the upper bounds of uncertainties and disturbances, and a nonlinear finite time control scheme is proposed by combing input/output feedback linearization with integral sliding mode technique. Different from the existing works on attitude control of airship, the developed controller can guarantee the yaw, pitch and roll angle trajectories track the desired attitude in finite time in spite of uncertain system uncertainties and external disturbances. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the attitude tracking performance.
