This paper studies the robust stabilization for a class of nonlinear time-delay fractional order (FO) systems in the presence of some practical aspects. The considered aspects in the FO system include: nonlinear Lipschitz functions; time-varying norm-bounded uncertain terms; and time-delays in the state variables. A major challenge in the control of time-delay systems is that the value of delay is usually not perfectly known or it may be even time-varying. In this paper, a novel asymptotic stabilizing control law is proposed which is delay independent and also has a robust manner in the presence of uncertain terms in the model which may be due to model uncertainties (parameter uncertainties or model simplification) and/or external disturbances. The proposed controller is a FO sliding mode controller that is designed such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically delay-independent stable. For this purpose, a FO sliding manifold is introduced and the occurrence of the reaching phase in a finite time is proved. Finally, in order to validate the theoretical results, an example is given and simulation results confirm the appropriate performance of the proposed controller.
