This paper addresses a second-order sliding mode control method for the formation problem of multirobot systems. The formation patterns are usually symmetrical. This sliding mode control is based on the super-twisting law. In many real-world applications, the robots suffer from a great diversity of uncertainties and disturbances that greatly challenge super-twisting sliding mode formation maneuvers. In particular, such a challenge has adverse effects on the formation performance when the uncertainties and disturbances have an unknown bound. This paper focuses on this issue and utilizes the technique of an extreme learning machine to meet this challenge. Within the leader–follower framework, this paper investigates the integration of the super-twisting sliding mode control method and the extreme learning machine. The output weights of this extreme learning machine are adaptively adjusted so that this integrated formation design has guaranteed closed-loop stability in the sense of Lyaponov. In the end, some simulations are implemented via a multirobot platform, illustrating the superiority and effectiveness of the integrated formation design in spite of uncertainties and disturbances.

In this paper, a novel discontinuous second-order sliding mode control approach has been developed to handle sliding mode dynamics with a nonvanishing mismatched disturbance by using Lyapunov theory and a finite-time disturbance observer. Firstly, the finite-time disturbance observer is designed to estimate the nonvanishing mismatched disturbance. Secondly, a virtual controller has been constructed based on the estimated value such that the sliding variable can be stabilized to zero in a finite time. Then, the real discontinuous controller is designed to guarantee that the virtual controller can be well tracked in a finite time. Lyapunov analysis also verifies the finite-time stability of the closed-loop sliding mode control system. The developed discontinuous second-order sliding mode control method possesses two appealing features including strong robustness with respect to the matched and mismatched nonvanishing disturbances, and relaxation on the constant upper bound of uncertainties widely used in a conventional second-order sliding mode. Finally, an academic example is illustrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes an adaptive smooth second-order sliding mode control law for a class of uncertain non-linear systems. The key point of this control law is ensuring a smooth control signal considering parametric uncertainty and disturbances with unknown bounds. The proposed control method is obtained by introducing a continuous function under the integral and using adaptive gains. The switching function and its derivative are forced to zero in finite time. This is achieved using a smooth control command and without the prior knowledge of upper bound parameters of uncertainties. The finite-time stability is proved based on a quadratic Lyapunov approach and the reaching time is estimated. This structure is used to create a homing guidance law and the efficiency is evaluated via simulations.

A second-order sliding mode control for chaotic synchronization with bounded disturbance is studied. A robust finite-time controller is designed based on super twisting algorithm which is a popular second-order sliding mode control technique. The proposed controller is designed by combining an adaptive law with super twisting algorithm. New results based on adaptive super twisting control for the synchronization of identical Qi three-dimensional four-wing chaotic system are presented. The finite-time convergence of synchronization is ensured by using Lyapunov stability theory. The simulations results show the usefulness of the developed control method.

Super-twisting algorithm, a second-order sliding mode control method, is studied for hydropower plant frequency control. Two versions of this algorithm are introduced in this paper. Simulation results from both of these second-order methods and regular sliding mode control are compared on the basis of system responses and control efforts. It is shown that the second-order sliding mode controller is able to reduce chattering effects associated with the regular sliding mode control and preserve the robustness of the regular sliding mode control as well.

This paper presents a super-twisting sliding mode control method for the formation maneuvers of multiple robots. In the real world of applications, the robots suffer from many uncertainties and disturbances that trouble the super-twisting sliding mode formation maneuvers very much. Especially, this issue has the adverse effects on the formation performance when the uncertainties and disturbances have an unknown bound. This paper focuses on this issue and utilizes the technique of disturbance observer to meet this challenge. In terms of the leader–follower framework, this paper investigates the integration of the super-twisting sliding mode control method and the disturbance observer technique. This kind of formation design has the guaranteed closed-loop stability in the sense of Lyapunov. Some simulations are implemented through a multi-robot platform. The results demonstrate that the superiority of the formation design regardless of uncertainties and disturbances.
