Sliding Mode Control, with Integrator, for a Class of Mimo Nonlinear Systems

Abstract

In this paper, the robust control problem of general nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems is proposed. The robustness against unknown disturbances is considered. Two algorithms based on the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) for nonlinear coupled multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems are proposed: the first order sliding mode control (FOSMC) with saturation (sat) function and the FOSMC with sat combined with integrator controller. Those algorithms were simulated and implemented on the three tanks test-bed system and the exprimental results confirm the effectiveness of our control design.
