Theory and applications of backstepping sliding mode variable structure control for uncertain systems

Abstract

Backstepping sliding mode variable structure control is one of the advanced research directions of robust control theory for uncertain nonlinear systems and is of wide applications in high technical field,especially in aeronautical and astronautical domain due to its strong potential ability to improve transient performance of system tracking error and robustness.Firstly,the present state of theoretical research of backstepping sliding mode variable structure control is particularly summarized from different design approaches,and then its applications in some engineering domains such as aeronautics and astronautics,robot,motor and electro-hydraulic servo system are introduced.Finally,the existing problems and possible solving approaches to backstepping sliding mode variable structure control are discussed.
