“…Intelligent control, on the other hand, has proven to be a very attractive approach to cope with uncertain nonlinear systems [2]- [6], [9], [15], [16], [23]. By combining nonlinear control techniques, such as feedback linearization or sliding modes, with adaptive intelligent algorithms, for example fuzzy logic or artificial neural networks, the resulting intelligent control strategies can deal with the nonlinear characteristics as well as with modeling imprecisions and external disturbances that can arise.…”
