A Review on Adaptive Back Stepping Sliding Mode Control on Type 1 Diabetics
Abstract: Making the system state "slide" along a predetermined surface is the goal of the robust controlmethod known as sliding mode control. The sliding surface ensure that the system remains stable evenin the presence of uncertainties or disturbances. Backstepping is a recursive control design methodthat breaks down complex control problems into simpler subsystems. It constructs a series ofLyapunov functions to stabilize each subsystem, eventually achieving stability for the entire system.Based on …
