The design of sliding observers is discussed in the paper. The sliding observer is shown to have a simple structure and to be robust with respect to bounded nonlinearities and uncertainties. The Lyapunov-like stability method is used to investigate the stability of sliding observers without assuming the matching condition and a computer-aided design methodology is suggested. A numerical example based on an inverted pendulum with moving support is used to illustrate the proposed design methodology.
