“…With a simple procedure of construction and strict robustness to counteract uncertainties/disturbances, the sliding mode control (SMC) and extended SMC have been largely developed in the UAV control system, such as second-order sliding mode control [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], backstepping and integral SMC [ 17 , 18 ], and adaptive SMC [ 19 , 20 ]. It is well-known as a robust control in the SMC community, the nonsingular terminal SMC (NSTSMC) is an interesting technique [ 21 ], because the algorithm ensures both finite-time stability of sliding surface and the convergence of system states to desired trajectories.…”
