Sliding mode control (SMC) has been a very popular control technology due to its simplicity and robustness against uncertainties and disturbances since its inception more than 60 years ago. Its very foundation of stability and stabilization is built on the principle of the Lyapunov theory which ascertains asymptotic stability. In the 1990s, a novel class of SMC, called the terminal sliding mode control (TSMC), was proposed which has been studied and applied extensively, giving rise to a robust control with tunable finite-time convergence delivering fast response, high precision, and strong robustness. In recent years, interest in this particular control technology has been increasing. This paper provides an overview of the state of the art of the TSMC theory and its applications, and postulates key technical issues and future challenges.

终端滑模控制–概述

自从60多年前问世以来，滑模控制（SMC）由于其对不确定性和干扰的简单性和鲁棒性而成为一种非常流行的控制技术。它的稳定和稳定的基础是基于Lyapunov理论的原理，该理论确定渐近稳定。在1990年代，人们提出了一种新型的SMC，即终端滑模控制（TSMC），并对其进行了广泛的研究和应用，从而产生了具有可调时间有限收敛性的鲁棒控制，可提供快速响应，高精度和高可靠性。强大的鲁棒性。近年来，对该特定控制技术的兴趣一直在增长。本文提供了台积电理论及其应用的最新发展概况，并提出了关键技术问题和未来挑战。
