Output Feedback Tracking Sliding Mode Control for Systems with State- and Input-Dependent Disturbances

摘要

In this paper, output feedback tracking sliding mode control was considered for uncertain multivariable linear systems. The uncertainties included external disturbance, the system state, and control input. A new property of the loop transfer recovery (LTR) observer was first established: the state estimation error of the LTR observer can be made arbitrarily small with respect to state- and input-dependent system uncertainties. Observer-based output feedback tracking sliding mode control using the LTR observer is presented. The proposed sliding mode control approach can maintain the boundedness of the system state and drive the system outputs arbitrarily close to the desired reference outputs; the degree of closeness was determined by a design parameter in the LTR observer. In the proposed approach, the most general and simple observer-based output feedback control formulation was used to achieve global tracking. Simulations with a two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic manipulator application illustrated the claimed properties, and a peaking and chattering reduction technique was demonstrated to protect the actuator.
