In this paper, the fuzzy approximator and sliding mode control (SMC) scheme are considered. We propose two methods of adaptive SMC schemes that the fuzzy logic systems (approximators) are used to approximate the unknown system functions in designing the SMC of nonlinear system. In the first method, a fuzzy logic system is utilized to approximate the unknown function f of the nonlinear system x/sup n=/f(x, t)+b(x, t)u and the robust adaptive law is proposed to reduce the approximation errors between the true nonlinear functions and fuzzy approximators. In the second method, two fuzzy logic systems are utilized to approximate the f and b, respectively, and the control law, which is robust to approximation error is also designed. The stabilities of proposed control schemes are proved and these schemes are applied to an inverted pendulum system. The comparisons between the proposed control schemes are shown in simulations.
