In this article, a singularity-free terminal sliding mode (SFTSM) control scheme based on the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed for the quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (QUAVs) under the presence of inertia uncertainties and external disturbances. Firstly, a singularity-free terminal sliding mode surface (SFTSMS) is constructed to achieve the finite-time convergence without any piecewise continuous function. Then, the adaptive finite-time control is designed with an auxiliary function to avoid the singularity in the error-related inverse matrix. Moreover, the RBFNN and extended state observer (ESO) are introduced to estimate the unknown disturbances, respectively, such that prior knowledge on system model uncertainties is not required for designing attitude controllers. Finally, the attitude and angular velocity errors are finite-time uniformly ultimately bounded (FTUUB), and numerical simulations illustrated the satisfactory performance of the designed control scheme.

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 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.

SUMMARYA continuous finite-time control scheme for networked bilateral teleoperation is proposed in this brief. The terminal sliding mode technology is used and new master–slave torques are designed. With the new controller, the coordination error of the master manipulator and the slave manipulator converges to zero in finite time. Moreover, the reaching time and the sliding time can be derived. Finally, the comparisons are performed and simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes a continuous finite-time control scheme using a new form of terminal sliding mode (TSM) combined with a sliding mode disturbance observer (SMDO). The proposed controller is applied for nanopositioning of piezoelectric actuators (PEAs). Nonlinearities, mainly hysteresis, can drastically degrade the system performance. Same as the model imperfection, hysteresis can also be treated as uncertainties of the system. These uncertainties can be addressed by terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) for it is promising for positioning and tracking control. To further improve the robustness of the TSM controller, the SMDO is employed to estimate the bounded disturbances and uncertainties. The robust stability of the TSMC is proved through a Lyapunov stability analysis. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed TSM/SMDO controller for both positioning and tracking applications. The fast response, few chattering, and high precision positioning and tracking performances can be achieved in finite time by the proposed controller.

The attitude maneuver control of flexible spacecraft with finite-time convergence is investigated in this paper. Two terminal sliding mode controllers are proposed to achieve the finite-time control, which guarantee the convergence of attitude maneuver errors in finite time. The singularity problem associated with the terminal sliding mode control is solved by employing a new sliding variable. Numerical simulations are finally provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed controllers.

This paper proposed a finite time convergence global sliding mode control scheme for the second-order multiple models control system. Firstly, the global sliding surface without reaching law for a single model control system is designed and the tracking error finite time convergence and global stability are proved. Secondly, we generalize the above scheme to the second-order multimodel control system and obtain the global sliding mode control law. Then, the convergent and stable performances of the closed-loop control system with multimodel controllers are proved. Finally, a simulation example shows that the proposed control scheme is more effective and useful compared with the traditional sliding mode control scheme.

In this paper, a novel adaptive finite-time control of air-breathing hypersonic vehicles is proposed. Based on the immersion and invariance theory, an adaptive finite-time control method for general second-order systems is first derived, using nonsingular terminal sliding mode scheme. Then the method is applied to the control system design of a flexible air-breathing vehicle model, whose dynamics can be decoupled into first-order and second-order subsystems by time-scale separation principle. The main features of this hypersonic vehicle control system lie in the design flexibility of the parameter adaptive laws and the rapid convergence to the equilibrium point. Finally, simulations are conducted, which demonstrate that the control system has the features of fast and accurate tracking to command trajectories and strong robustness to parametric and non-parametric uncertainties.
