Actuator nonlinearities are often neglected in control system design, though they can remarkably affect systems performance. This paper presents sliding mode controllers able to robustly stabilize an… (More)
The actuator failure compensation problem is addressed in this brief. It is considered an uncertain linear plant, which is supposed to undergo unknown failures causing the plant input components to… (More)
This paper presents a discrete-time variable-structure-based control and a speed estimator designed for a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). A cascade control scheme is proposed which… (More)
This paper presents a discrete-time sliding mode control based on prediction compensation of uncertainties for planar robotic manipulators. Autoregressive models, identified on-line by Kalman… (More)
This paper proposes an actuator fault-tolerant control scheme, composed of the usual modules performing detection, isolation, accommodation, designed for a class of nonlinear systems, and then… (More)
