The design of sliding observers is discussed in the paper. The sliding observer is shown to have a simple structure and to be robust with respect to bounded nonlinearities and uncertainties. The Lyapunov-like stability method is used to investigate the stability of sliding observers without assuming the matching condition and a computer-aided design methodology is suggested. A numerical example based on an inverted pendulum with moving support is used to illustrate the proposed design methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
