Event-triggered controllers are well known for guaranteeing the desired stability for a sampled-data system with minimum resource utilization. Over the past decade, the study has revealed that the overall performance improvement for a sampled-data system can be achieved by replacing the time-based sampling with an event-triggered one. The design of sliding mode control (SMC) in the event-triggering framework has also shown similar outcomes, especially for uncertain systems. There are different design strategies for event-triggered SMC available in the literature for networked dynamical systems that are potentially affected by uncertainties and transmission delays. The purpose of this survey article is to present the state of the art on event-triggered SMC and familiarize the readers with the design techniques with their pros and cons, since this will be very helpful to the researchers and engineers for implementing SMC using event-based feedback strategies.
