Adaptive Integral-Type Terminal Sliding Mode Control for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Under Model Uncertainties and External Disturbances

This paper proposes an adaptive integral-type terminal sliding mode approach for the attitude and position tracking control of a quadrotor UAV subject to model uncertainties and external disturbances. First, an integral-type terminal sliding tracker is designed to attain the quadrotor UAV tracking performance in finite time when the upper bound of perturbations and uncertainties are known. Next, an adaptation law is proposed and a modified parameter-tuning integral-type terminal sliding mode tracking control scheme is designed to compensate of the model uncertainties and external disturbances. The stability and finite time convergence of the proposed approach is verified using the Lyapunov theory. Its performance is assessed using a simulation study encompassing various scenarios. Low chattering dynamics, fast convergence rate, and absence of singularities are the main features of the proposed approach.
