Focusing on type-2 fuzzy controllers, the book explores their effectiveness in managing disturbances in mechanical systems, particularly hard or nonsmooth nonlinearities. It details the authors' research, showcasing models, simulations, and experiments involving servomotor control amidst dead-zone and Coulomb friction. Additionally, it addresses the control mechanisms for wheeled mobile robots and a biped robot, analyzing closed-loop systems through smooth and nonsmooth Lyapunov functions to enhance system stability and performance.

This compact monograph is focused on disturbance attenuation in nonsmooth dynamic systems, developing an H approach in the nonsmooth setting.
