11:00 AM – 12:30 PM EDT

This webinar presents recent advances in control, observation, and identification algorithms based on higher-order sliding modes, with particular emphasis on the PID-like controller framework. The proposed methods are experimentally validated using the 3 DOF Helicopter, demonstrating robustness and performance improvements.

Additionally, the adaptation of sliding mode algorithms through barrier functions is discussed, with validation on the Quanser 2 DOF Ball Balancer. These results highlight the practical applicability of advanced sliding mode techniques in real-world educational and research platforms.
