Global Robust Sliding Mode Tracking Control for Helicopter with Input Time Delay

In this paper, a global sliding mode control scheme is proposed for a helicopter with input time delay and disturbance. We proposed a new method for integral sliding surface. By the design of dynamic nonlinear sliding mode function, the controller has the advantage of eliminating the reaching movement of traditional sliding mode control, overcoming the effect of the disturbance and time delay. The system state variables reached the sliding surface at the very beginning by means of designing a dynamic nonlinear sliding mode function, and moved to the expected state under the control of control law. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by simulation results.
