INTRODUCTION

Robustness has been an important issue in control systems design ever since 1769 when James Watt developed his flyball governer. A successfully designed control system should be always able to maintain stability and performance level inspite of uncertainties in system dynamics and/or in the working environment to a certain degree. A large part of todays fervor on robust control research is focused on those techniques which utilize the Variable Structure Control method and Sliding Mode Control. As well known, the two methods are closely related but, strangely enough, their respective research areas are quite separated. Sliding mode control is a particular type of Variable structure control. The Variable structure control systems are characterized by a suite of feedback control laws and a decision rule, which may be regarded as a combination of subsystems where each subsystem has a fixed control structure and is valid for specified regions of system behavior. Furthermore, the system may be designed to possess new properties not present in any of the composite structures alone. In sliding mode control, variable structure control systems are designed to drive and then constrain the system states to lie in a predefined manifold. During sliding mode, the system dynamics is governed by the chosen manifold which results in a well celebrated invariant property towards certain class of disturbances and model mismatches and thus clearly makes this methodology an appropriate candidate for robust control.

BROAD OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this course is to lay a foundation in the theory of sliding mode control covering a large spectrum of recent research in this area including continuous-time, discrete-time, higher order sliding modes, sliding mode observers and differentiator as well as the various applications of this powerful design technique. The course will also introduce the most innovative ideas in this field which will benefit the researchers and academicians.
