International audienceA robust control for a stepper motor with no position nor velocity sensors and only needing current and voltage measurements is designed. Second order sliding mode based observers are realized to estimate both rotor angular position and velocity. Moreover, a robust control law, which is also based on second order sliding modes and which uses the estimates of the observer, is designed. The stability of the observer based control loop is discussed. The results obtained in simulations indicate the usefulness and the robustness of the method
