Conclusion, Future Scope and Challenges

Abstract

In this book, a novel method of designing discrete-time sliding mode controller in the presence of fractional delay along with packet loss occurrence due to network medium is presented. Firstly, the effect of deterministic type fractional delay is compensated using Thiran’s approximation technique and the compensated state information is used for the design of sliding surface. A switching type discrete-time networked sliding mode controller is designed using the compensated sliding surface which computes the control sequences in the presence of matched uncertainty. The condition for stability of the closed-loop system is derived using Lyapunov approach.
