“…Sliding mode control (SMC) is a popular control algorithm and possesses several desirable characteristics, such as design simplicity, ease of implementation, and robustness to external disturbances, model uncertainties, and parameter variations. Thus, SMC has received a significant amount of attention and is widely found in diverse practical applications, including robotics [1][2][3][4][5][6], electrical and mechanical systems [7][8][9][10][11][12], and aerospace engineering [13][14][15][16][17]. Nonetheless, the conventional SMC still exhibits several drawbacks, namely chattering, asymptotic convergence, and susceptibility to mismatched disturbances.…”
