SUMMARYThis paper focuses on fast terminal sliding mode control (FTSMC) of robot manipulators using wavelet neural networks (WNN) with guaranteed H∞tracking performance. The FTSMC for trajectory tracking is employed to drive the tracking error of the system to converge to an equilibrium point in finite time. The tracking error arrives at the sliding surface in finite time and then converges to zero in finite time along the sliding surface. To deal with the case of uncertain and unknown robot dynamics, a WNN is proposed to fully compensate the robot dynamics. The online tuning algorithms for the WNN parameters are derived using Lyapunov approach. To attenuate the effect of approximation errors to a prescribed level, H∞tracking performance is proposed. It is shown that the proposed WNN is able to learn the system dynamics with guaranteed H∞tracking performance and finite time convergence for trajectory tracking. Finally, the simulation results are performed on a 3D-Microbot manipulator to show the effectiveness of the controller.

An adaptive global fast terminal sliding mode control (GFTSM) is proposed for tracking control of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) vibratory gyroscopes under unknown model uncertainties and external disturbances. To improve the convergence rate of reaching the sliding surface, a global fast terminal sliding surface is employed which can integrate the advantages of traditional sliding mode control and terminal sliding mode control. It can be guaranteed that sliding surface and equilibrium point can be reached in a shorter finite time from any initial state. In the presence of unknown upper bound of system nonlinearities, an adaptive global fast terminal sliding mode controller is derived to estimate this unknown upper bound. Simulation results demonstrate that the tracking error can be attenuated efficiently and robustness of the control system can be improved with the proposed adaptive global fast terminal sliding mode control.

This paper presents a novel nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control scheme for a class of second-order uncertain nonlinear systems. First, a novel nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode manifold (NNFTSM) with adaptive coefficients is put forward, and a novel double power reaching law (NDP) with dynamic exponential power terms is presented. Afterwards, a novel nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode (NNFTSMNDP) controller is designed by employing NNFTSM and NDP, which can improve the convergence rate and the robustness of the system. Due to the existence of external disturbances and parameter uncertainties, the system states under controller NNFTSMNDP cannot converge to the equilibrium but only to the neighborhood of the equilibrium in finite time. Considering the unsatisfying performance of controller NNFTSMNDP, an adaptive disturbance observer (ADO) is employed to estimate the lumped disturbance that is compensated in the controller in real-time. A novel composite controller is presented by combining the NNFTSMNDP method with the ADO technique. The finite-time stability of the closed-loop system under the proposed control method is proven by virtue of the Lyapunov stability theory. Both simulation results and theoretical analysis illustrate that the proposed method shows excellent control performance in the existence of disturbances and uncertainties.

In this study, a fault-tolerant control (FTC) tactic using a sliding mode controller–observer method for uncertain and faulty robotic manipulators is proposed. First, a finite-time disturbance observer (DO) is proposed based on the sliding mode observer to approximate the lumped uncertainties and faults (LUaF). The observer offers high precision, quick convergence, low chattering, and finite-time convergence estimating information. Then, the estimated signal is employed to construct an adaptive non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control law, in which an adaptive law is employed to approximate the switching gain. This estimation helps the controller automatically adapt to the LUaF. Consequently, the combination of the proposed controller–observer approach delivers better qualities such as increased position tracking accuracy, reducing chattering effect, providing finite-time convergence, and robustness against the effect of the LUaF. The Lyapunov theory is employed to illustrate the robotic system’s stability and finite-time convergence. Finally, simulations using a 2-DOF serial robotic manipulator verify the efficacy of the proposed method.

This paper presents the finite time attitude tracking control problem of reusable launch vehicle (RLV) in reentry phase under input constraint, model uncertainty, and external disturbance. A control-oriented model of rotational dynamics is developed and used for controller design for the complex coupling of the translational and rotational dynamics. Firstly, fast terminal sliding mode control is incorporated into backstepping control to design controller considering model uncertainty and external disturbance. The “explosion of terms” problem inherent in backstepping control is eliminated by a robust second order filter. Secondly, the control problem in the presence of input constraint is further considered, and a constrained adaptive backstepping fast terminal sliding mode control scheme is developed. At the control design level, adaptive law is employed to estimate the unknown norm bound of lumped uncertainty with the reduction of computational burden. The Lyapunov-based stability analysis of the closed-loop system is carried out. The control performance is presented via the simulation of six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) model of RLV.
