Advanced Fractional Sliding Mode Control for Dynamic and Robotic Systems

Dear Colleagues, 

Fractional sliding mode control, a sophisticated technique rooted in fractional calculus, stands as a formidable asset for refining control mechanisms within the realm of robotics and dynamic systems. By crafting bespoke sliding mode surfaces, this method significantly amplifies the precision required for trajectory tracking in robotics while simultaneously fortifying resilience against external disturbances commonly encountered in dynamic systems. Moreover, its inherent adaptability curtails chattering phenomena, augments transient response capabilities, and optimizes control efforts, thereby fostering a more energy-efficient and stable operational paradigm. In essence, fractional sliding mode control emerges as an indispensable ally, adept at navigating the intricate challenges posed by contemporary control scenarios, and empowering systems with unparalleled precision, robustness, and efficiency amid complex and dynamic environments.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fractal and Fractional is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
