This paper developed an adaptive backstepping fuzzy sliding control (ABFSC) approach for a micro gyroscope. Based on backstepping design, an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control was proposed to adjust the fuzzy parameters with self-learning ability and reject the system nonlinearities. With the Lyapunov function analysis of error function and sliding surface function, a comprehensive controller is derived to ensure the stability of the proposed control system. The proposed fuzzy control scheme does not need to know the system model in advance and could approximate the system nonlinearities well. The adaptive fuzzy control method has self-learning ability to adjust the fuzzy parameters. Simulation studies were implemented to prove the validity of the proposed ABFSMC strategy, showing that it can adapt to the changes of external disturbance and model parameters and has a satisfactory performance in tracking and approximation.
