基于对称性设计滑模控制器，降低机械系统控制复杂度。

In this paper, we propose a framework for designing sliding mode controllers for a class of mechanical systems with symmetry, both unconstrained and constrained, that evolve on principal fiber bundles. Control laws are developed based on the reduced motion equations by exploring symmetries, leading to a sliding mode control strategy where the reaching stage is executed on the base space, and the sliding stage is performed on the structure group. Thus, design complexity is reduced, and difficult choices for coordinate representations when working with a particular Lie group are avoided. For this purpose, a sliding subgroup is constructed on the structure group based on a kinematic controller, and the sliding variable will converge to the identity of the state manifold upon reaching the sliding subgroup. A reaching law based on a general sliding vector field is then designed on the base space using the local form of the mechanical connection to drive the sliding variable to the sliding subgroup, and its time evolution is given according to the appropriate covariant derivative. Almost global asymptotic stability and local exponential stability are demonstrated using a Lyapunov analysis. We apply the results to a fully actuated system (a rigid spacecraft actuated by reaction wheels) and a subactuated nonholonomic system (unicycle mobile robot actuated by wheels), which is also simulated for illustration.
