Application of direct adaptive fuzzy slidingmode control into a class of non-affine discrete nonlinear systems

Abstract

Direct adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control design for discrete non-affine nonlinear systems is presented for trajectory tracking problems with disturbance. To obtain adaptiveness and eliminate chattering of sliding mode control, a dynamic fuzzy logical system is used to implement an equivalent control, in which the parameters are self-tuned online. Stability of the sliding mode control is validated using the Lyapunov analysis theory. The overall system is adaptive, asymptotically stable, and chattering-free. A numerical simulation and an application to a robotic arm with two degrees of freedom further verify the good performance of the control design.
