Robust PI-Based Non-Singular Terminal Synergetic Control for Nonlinear Systems via Hybrid Nonlinear Disturbance Observer

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel robust proportional integral non-singular terminal synergetic control (PI-NTSC) for a class of affine nonlinear systems. To counteract the effects of the disturbances, a hybrid nonlinear disturbance observer (HNDOB) scheme is proposed to estimate the matched and mismatched disturbances. A novel proportional integral non-singular terminal synergetic control (PI-NTSC) is proposed for a class of affine nth-order systems. The stability of the PI-NTSC approach is proven using the Lyapunov stability theory. Its effectiveness and applicability is evaluated through simulations of a four-bar linkage mechanism and a servo-hydraulic system. The proposed HNDOB-based PI-NTSC is characterized by a finite time convergence rate, simple implementation, better disturbance rejection ability to both matched and mismatched uncertainties, and chattering free dynamics compared to conventional sliding mode control.
