Output feedback stabilization using super‐twisting control and high‐gain observer

Summary An output feedback controller is designed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with relative degree higher than one. A super‐twisting sliding mode state feedback controller is designed and implemented using a high‐gain observer. It is proved that the controller achieves practical stabilization and the ultimate bound can be reduced by decreasing a design parameter. The performance of the controller is illustrated by simulation.
