“…Conventional feedback control methods do not obtain robustness and high performance when facing with the nonlinearities, uncertainties and external disturbances [7][8][9][10]. Sliding mode control (SMC) as an effective robust control technique that has been successfully applied to control or track certain linear and nonlinear systems such as robotic manipulators [11], nonholonomic systems [12], aircraft [13], underwater vehicles [14], spacecraft [15], flexible space structures [16], chaotic systems [17], electrical motors [18] and power systems [19]. The significant features of SMC are the fast response, robustness against uncertainties, insensitivity to the bounded disturbances, good transient performance and computational easiness with respect to other robust control methods [20][21][22].…”
