    Sliding mode control of a class of underactuated system with non-integrable momentum
    (Elsevier, 2020-07-20) Chen, Lejun; Van, Mien
    In this paper, a sliding mode control scheme is developed to stabilise a class of nonlinear perturbed underactuated system with a non-integral momentum. In this scheme, by initially maintaining a subset of actuated variables on sliding manifolds, the underactuated system with the non-integrable momentum can be approximated by one with the integrable momentum in finite time. During sliding, a subset of the actuated variables converge to zero and a physically meaningful diffeomorphism is systematically calculated to transform the reduced order sliding motion into one in a strict feedback normal form in which the control signals are decoupled from the underactuated subsystem. Furthermore, based on the perturbed strict feedback form, it is possible to find a sliding mode control law to ensure the asymptotic stability of the remaining actuated and unactuated variables. The design efficacy is verified via a multi-link planar robot case study.
