Abstract: Due to the correlation between increasing system complexity and performance requirements, the need for globally robust control systems is more and more apparent. This paper proposes two extensions to a novel globally robust control system called sliding mode control (SMC). First, a new approach to estimating the boundaries of the influence matrix for a system without its model is developed. Next, the use of hyper-plane transformations in SMC is discussed. Both techniques were individually paired with sliding mode controllers and simulated against a nonlinear test system. In the future, these methods will be added to model free sliding mode control (MFSMC) to broaden the applicability of this type of controller.

Keywords: Sliding Mode Control, Globally Robust Control, Estimation, Hyper-plane transformation, non-square MIMO system, Model Free Sliding Mode Control.
