Abstract
This paper presents an adaptive control scheme with an integration of sliding mode control into the L 1 adaptive control architecture,which provides good tracking performance as well as robustness againstmatched uncertainties. Slidingmode control is used as an adaptive law in the L 1 adaptive control architecture, which is considered as a virtual control of error dynamics between estimated states and real states. Low-pass filtering mechanism in the control law design prevents a discontinuous signal in the adaptive law from appearing in actual control signal while maintaining control accuracy. By using sliding mode control as a virtual control of error dynamics and introducing the low-pass filtered control signal, the chattering effect is eliminated. The performance bounds between the close-loop adaptive system and the closed-loop reference system are characterized in this paper. Numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate the performance of the presented adaptive control scheme.
