Sliding-mode predictive control for constrained hovercraft: A short-horizon framework with global stability and external disturbances

Key Points

• Hovercraft control achieves global stability under the sliding-mode framework, ensuring effective handling of disturbances.
• Key evidence shows successful control response maintaining stability across various external disturbances in hovercraft systems.
• Observational analysis involves a short-horizon predictive control approach within constrained hovercraft environments.
• This method highlights the potential for improved hovercraft stability, calling for further exploration under real-world conditions.
