Abstract

In this manuscript, the design of a continuous super twisting control based on high-order sliding mode observer for a class of nonlinear systems is addressed. An analysis of stability of the system in closed loop with the proposed control-observer scheme is provided by means of Lyapunov approach, where sufficient conditions are given to ensure the convergence in finite time. Furthermore, a comparative study against similar methodologies is provided, where simulation and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for altitude control of a quadrotor aircraft.
