Abstract
This paper deals with the design of robust positioning servo-system, capable of accurate tracking of complex referent signals under action of parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Discrete-time sliding mode control approach is employed in servo-system design. Tracking accuracy is improved by using a new digital disturbance estimator, which incorporates an active sliding mode controlled subsystem. The overall servo-system exhibits high tracking accuracy and robustness to internal and exogenous disturbances. Experimental results show effectiveness of the proposed servo-system control structure.
