This paper investigates the problem of designing a fast convergent sliding mode flight controller of a transport aircraft for heavyweight airdrop operations in the presence of bounded uncertainties without the prior knowledge of the bounds. On the basis of feedback linearization of the aircraft-carg...

This paper investigates a distributed coordination control scheme using an adaptive terminal sliding mode for formation flying spacecraft with coupled attitude and translational dynamics. In order to overcome the singularity of the traditional fast terminal sliding manifold, a novel fast terminal sl...

This paper studies the weighted average consensus problem for networks of agents with fixed directed asymmetric unbalance information exchange topology. We suppose that the classical distributed consensus protocol is destroyed by diverse time-delays which include communication time-delay and self ti...

An adaptive backstepping-based non-singular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) control method is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems in the parameteric-strict feedback form. The adaptive control law is combined with the first nGêÆ1 steps of the backstepping method to estimate the unknown p...

A design method is presented for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model based nonlinear sliding model controller. First, the closed-loop fuzzy system is divided into a set of dominant local linear systems according to operating sub-regions. In each sub-region the fuzzy system consists of nominal linear sys...
