A new semi-continuous sliding mode control is proposed for electromagnetic suspension systems. The control input is derived from the reaching law and the Lyapunov stability criteria, which is composed of continuous terms and low switching term. It has a low switching gain and chattering fee characteristics. It is shown by the computer simulation that the proposed control has good tracking performance and robustness compared with the classical sliding mode control.

A new chattering free PD-sliding mode hybrid control scheme is proposed for robot manipulators. This hybrid controller is composed of a PD controller and a semi-continuous sliding mode controller. It has a good robust performance in reaching mode which does not possess invariance property of sliding mode, and has chattering free characteristics in sliding mode. Thus, the PD-sliding mode hybrid controller has a good robust performance in the whole region. It is shown that the proposed control has a good transient response and trajectory tracking performance for a 2-link SCARA robot manipulator.
