New variable structure control for MIMO nonlinear system based on I/O linearization

A novel variable structure control (VSC) with new rapid-smooth reaching law (RSRL) and new rapid-convergent sliding mode (FCSM) is proposed, which is based on analysis of normal VSC system. When it is used for an MIMO nonlinear system, we combine the method of Input/Output linearizing (I/O L) with VSC. After analyzing the robustness of the MIMO nonlinear system, we use this novel controller for Precision One Robot position control system. Simulation provides a quite satisfactory performance with uncertainties and external disturbances.
