Controlling an optical sensor’s line of sight (LOS) with an inertial stabilization system carried out on a dynamic platform is a challenging engineering task. The LOS needs to track a target object accurately despite intentional maneuvers, inadvertent motions, and additional disturbances. In this study, a super-twisting sliding mode controller (STSMC) is implemented to overcome this problem. The controller is designed based on the analysis of system dynamics. The stability is then proved to be satisfactory by the Lyapunov theory. Then, the control law is validated through experimental studies. In addition, a comparison to the performance of a linear controller is derived so that the effectiveness of the proposed controller is validated.

In this study, a super-twisting sliding mode controller with a non-linear disturbance observer for a ball-screw servo system was designed to obtain a precise motion and fast convergent control performance. Unknown dynamics of the servo system were approximated into pre-assumed diagonal constants for rapid controller design in the real industry to avoid expensive and time consuming experimental identification process. Moreover, uncertainties due to nonlinear friction, axis misalignment and dead zone were estimated by a nonlinear disturbance observer, which is combined with the designed super-twisting controller. The designed controller and observer systems were applied to the 2-axis ball screw servo system to verify the efficacy of the proposed control system via simulation and experiment.
This paper presents a finite-time tracking control for a robot manipulator in the presence of a modeling uncertainty and an external disturbance. To solve the large chattering phenomenon that is caused by the high switching gain of the slidingmode control, a novel second-order sliding-mode controller that generates a continuous control input is designed with a robust differentiator. The finite-time stability of the closed-loop system is ensured using a constructive Lyapunov-stability analysis. Finally, a numerical simulation of the 2-Axis Pan-Tilt system is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
