“…In practical applications, it is difficult to obtain the dynamic parameters of the system, so controllers that do not require a mathematical model of the system are necessary. Nonlinear control methods that do not require a system model have been used [8], [9], [10], [11] and SMC is a popular choice due to its robustness to uncertainties, parameter changes and external disturbances [12], [13], [14], as well as its good speed response and transient performance [15], [16]. Thanks to these advantages, SMC has often been chosen to perform trajectory tracking control of the UGV [17], [18], [19].…”
