Sliding Mode Formations for Multiple Robots via Disturbance Observer

With the development of robot technique, the multi-robot cooperation has become an important research direction. Formation control is the foundation of the multi-robot cooperation problem. The multi-robot formation control problem with uncertainties has become a popular research topic. This book proposes a sliding model control scheme based on disturbance observer for the topic. This book can be used for teaching a graduate-level special topic course in sliding mode and robotics.
