In this article, an innovative technique to design a robust finite-time state feedback controller for a class of uncertain robotic manipulators is proposed. This controller aims to converge the state variables of the system to a small bound around the origin in a finite time. The main innovation of this article is transforming the model of an uncertain robotic manipulator into a new time-varying form to achieve the finite-time boundedness criteria using asymptotic stability methods. First, based on prior knowledge about the upper bound of uncertainties and disturbances, an innovative finite-time sliding mode controller is designed. Then, the innovative finite-time sliding mode controller is developed for finite-time tracking of time-varying reference signals by the outputs of the system. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed control laws is illustrated for serial robotic manipulators with any number of links through numerical simulations, and it is compared with the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control method as one of the most powerful finite-time techniques.

In this study, a new finite time control method is suggested for robotic manipulators based on nonsingular fast terminal sliding variables and the adaptive super-twisting method. First, to avoid the singularity drawback and achieve the finite time convergence of positional errors with a fast transient response rate, nonsingular fast terminal sliding variables are constructed in the position errors' state space. Next, adaptive tuning laws based on the super-twisting scheme are presented for the switching control law of terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) so that a continuous control law is extended to reject the effects of chattering behavior. Finally, a new finite time control method ensures that sliding motion will take place, regardless of the effects of the perturbations and uncertainties on the robot system. Accordingly, the stabilization and robustness of the suggested control system can be guaranteed with high-precision performance. The robustness issue and the finite time convergence of the suggested system are totally confirmed by the Lyapunov stability principle. In simulation studies, the experimental results exhibit the effectiveness and viability of our proposed scheme for joint position tracking control of a 3DOF PUMA560 robot.

This study investigates a novel fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller via a finite-time disturbance observer for a class of mismatched uncertain nonlinear systems. For this purpose, a finite-time disturbance observer–based fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding surface is proposed, and the corresponding control law is designed using the Lyapunov stability theory to satisfy the sliding condition in finite time. The proposed fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control based on a finite-time disturbance observer exhibits better control performance; guarantees finite-time convergence, robust stability of the closed-loop system, and mismatched disturbance rejection; and alleviates the chattering problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed fractional-order robust controller is illustrated via simulation results of both the numerical and application examples which are compared with the fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller, sliding mode controller based on a disturbance observer, and integral sliding mode controller methods.

A novel full-order terminal sliding-mode controller (FOTSMC) based on the finite-time disturbance observer (FTDO) is proposed for the “JIAOLONG” manned submersible with lumped disturbances. First, a finite-time disturbance observer (FTDO) is developed to estimate the lumped disturbances including the external disturbances and model uncertainties. Second, a full-order terminal sliding-mode surface is designed for the manned submersible, whose sliding-mode motion behaves as full-order dynamics rather than reduced-order dynamics in conventional sliding-mode control systems. Then, a continuous sliding-mode control law is developed to avoid chattering phenomenon, as well as to drive the system outputs to the desired reference trajectory in finite time. Furthermore, the closed-loop system stability analysis is given by Lyapunov theory. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the satisfactory tracking performance and excellent disturbance rejection capability of the proposed finite-time disturbance observer based full-order terminal sliding-mode control (FTDO-FOTSMC) method.

Two finite-time controllers without unwinding for the attitude tracking control of the spacecraft are investigated based on the rotation matrix, in which a novel modified nonsingular fast terminal sliding manifold is developed to keep tr(R~)≠-1. The first terminal sliding mode controller can compensate external disturbances with known bounds, while the second one can compensate external disturbances with unknown bounds by using an adaptive control method. Since the first terminal sliding mode controller is continuous, it is able to avoid chattering phenomenon. Theoretical analysis shows that both the two controllers can make spacecraft follow a time-varying reference attitude signal in finite time. Numerical simulations also demonstrate that the proposed control schemes are effective.

This paper studies the finite time spacecraft attitude tracking control problem, while considering modeling uncertainty, external disturbances and control input saturation. A novel integral terminal sliding mode surface (ITSMS) is designed by combining the fast terminal sliding mode surface (FTSMS) with a low pass filter to achieve a fast finite time convergence rate for the control system, without input singularity. An auxiliary signal is used to compensate for the effects of actuator saturation. The basic controller is first formulated based on the ITSMS, fast-TSM-type reaching law and auxiliary system, in the presence of an external disturbance and input saturation. Then, an adaptive control procedure is introduced, which simultaneously handles modeling uncertainty and external disturbance, thereby creating an adaptive attitude tracking controller. The proposed controller provides a fast finite time convergence rate for the control system, based on the newly designed ITSMS, while simultaneously compensating for modeling uncertainty, external disturbances and input saturation, without restricting the parameter selection process nor requiring repeated differentiation of nonlinear functions. Finally, digital simulation results are presented and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.
