We consider the problem of designing an integral sliding mode controller to reduce the
disturbance terms that act on nonlinear systems with state-dependent drift and input matrix …

The attitude tracking control problem for a rigid spacecraft using two optimal sliding mode
control laws is addressed. Integral sliding mode (ISM) control is applied to combine the first …

The objective of this chapter is to try to analyze the main stages in the development of sliding
mode enforcing control algorithms, starting from the first Variable Structure Systems …

Magnetic spacecraft attitude control is suitable for missions with moderate pointing and
stabilization requirements. It would be especially preferable if an implemented three‐axis …

A sliding‐mode speed controller for output tracking of underactuated surface vessels is
presented based on a new manifold definition. The new sliding‐mode control algorithm …

This paper deals with the problem of robust regulation of a Planar Vertical Takeoff and
Landing (PVTOL) aircraft affected by crosswind disturbances. The proposed approach …

This paper deals with the optimal tracking and synchronized control of leader–follower
spacecraft formation flying, considering motion with 6 degree-of-freedom (6-DOF). The …

This paper deals with the purely magnetic attitude control problem. Nonlinear equations of
attitude motion under environmental disturbances are presented. It is observed that the …

A robust control strategy is developed to address the position trajectory tracking problem in a
perturbed magnetic levitation system. The system consists of two electromagnets, each …

We study the disturbance rejection properties of recent and classical sliding-mode
approaches with respect to unmatched disturbances. We consider nonlinear systems with …
