  This paper present new approach in robust indirect rotor field oriented
(IRFOC) induction motor (IM) control. The introduction of new exponential
reaching law (ERL) based sliding mode control (SMC) improve significantly the
performances compared to the conventional SMC which are well known susceptible
to the annoying chattering phenomenon, so, the elimination of the chattering is
achieved while simplicity and high performance speed and position tracking are
maintained. Simulation results are given to discuss the performances of the
proposed control method.
