A novel non-singular terminal sliding mode control combined with integral sliding surface for perturbed quadrotor

Abstract

In this article, a new dynamic non-singular terminal sliding mode control technique for a quadrotor system subjected to external disturbances is evaluated. The offered control approach is based on non-singular terminal sliding mode controller combined with proportional–integral–derivative sliding surface to improve the performance. The proposed controller is formulated using the Lyapunov theory which ensured the existence of the sliding mode surfaces in finite time. Furthermore, the chattering problem, caused by the switching position and attitude laws, has been reduced using the proposed controller. Moreover, a high-precision performance trajectory tracking can be obtained. The problem of the disturbances is addressed using the suggested controller. Simulation results show the feasibility and efficiency of the non-singular terminal sliding mode control-proportional–integral–derivative proposed approach.
