In this paper, we propose a very robust control with a static nonlinear feedback law which can consider adherence and other model uncertainties, regulating the wheel slip at any desired value with good precision properties. A sliding-mode control has been designed to provide stability and reliability. Once designed, the control surface has been fuzzified and implemented with a programmable analog fuzzy circuit which uses a 0.7 mu m CMOS technology provided by SGS-Thomson Microelectronics. This implementation is carried out with a semi-automatic design flow and features high computational efficiency at it very low cost, especially when compared to a digital one. Moreover, the controller response time is less than 1 mu s. A flexible control of the slip coefficient has been performed. Results show that the desired slip coefficient is reached and kept with good approximation in compliance with theoretical results. SP - 275 A1 - Bellini, A.
