Prerequisites: Any basic course on control theory
Syllabus:
Module 1: Preliminaries–
A brief introduction to state space representation
Solution of linear systems
Controllability and observability
Fundamentals of nonlinear systems, linearization of nonlinear systems with examples
Stability analysis tool: Lyapunov’s stability theorem, LaSalle's theorem
Module 2: Sliding mode control–
Theory of conventional sliding mode: Filippov theory, reaching laws, finite-time stability, equivalent control method, advantages of sliding mode control
Terminal sliding mode control: fast terminal sliding mode control, nonsingular terminal sliding mode, prescribed convergence law
Sliding mode observers
Integral sliding mode control
Introduction to second-order sliding mode: relative degree, twisting algorithm, super twisting algorithm (as controller, differentiator, and observer)
Higher order sliding mode (as continuous controller and differentiator)
Discrete-time sliding mode control: Gao’s reaching law, Bartoszewicz’s reaching law
Module 3: Applications– Inverted pendulum, power converters, power systems, quadrotors, etc. These will be covered as a part of the course project.
Module 4: Optional topics (if time permits): multi-rate output feedback-based control.
