Conversion System (WECS) by operating it consistently at a Maximum Power Point (MPP) in …

The growing market for lightweight robots inspires new use-cases, such as collaborative
manipulators for human-centered automation. However, widespread adoption faces …

A global smooth sliding mode controller (GSSMC) is proposed for flexible air-breathing
hypersonic vehicle (FAHV) under actuator faults and parametric uncertainties, consisting of …

Underactuated mechanical systems offer complex dynamic behavior and poses control
challenges, especially in the presence of uncertainties in the system. To cope with such …

Fuel cells guarantee ecological ways of electricity production by promising zero emissions.
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are considered one of the safest methods …

An Integral Sliding Mode (ISM) based robustified Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) control is
presented for a laboratory scale ball on a beam balancer system. The inherent input channel …

An application of Smooth Super-Twisting Algorithm (SSTA) for air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) control
of a gasoline engine is presented. Air-to-fuel ratio control has remained important problem to …

This article investigates the finite-time fault-estimation problem for a class of Lipschitz
nonlinear systems with actuator faults and unknown input disturbances. Specifically, the …

Sliding mode control (SMC) contains two phases, namely reaching and sliding phases,
where the invariance of SMC is not guaranteed during the reaching phase. Integral SMC …
