Adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control for robotic airship with model uncertainty and external disturbance

摘要

An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSMC) approach is proposed for a robotic airship. First, the mathematical model of an airship is derived in the form of a nonlinear control system. Second, an AFSMC approach is proposed to design the attitude control system of airship, and the global stability of the closed-loop system is proved by using the Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control approach in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances.
