A re-configuring sliding-mode controller with a ustable robustness
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004)In this paper a controller design method for underwater vehicles is presented which is based on re-configuration of a sliding-mode controller in case of disturbances caused by shallow water conditions. The disturbance distribution information can be obtained and used to update the corrective gain vector of the sliding-mode controller. This increases the robustness of the controller and hence keeps the system performance within acceptable limits. Proposed method is validated with simulations on a ...
