Position Sliding Mode Control of Manipulator Joint Based on Genetic Algorithm
In order to improve the control performance of position trajectory tracking of manipulator joint, a sliding mode control (SMC) method based on genetic algorithm(GA) is proposed in this paper. In this method, the performance of SMC algorithm is improved through adjusting the parameters of switching function and exponential approach law by genetic algorithm. The method was applied to accomplish the precise position control of manipulator joint. Simulation experiments show that the response time in manipulator joint control system by the SMC method based on GA is reduced 0.62s than the ordinary SMC algorithm. And the system restore stability time with a load change is also reduced 0.7s. External disturbance has no significant effect on the control system. The chattering of controller output is significantly reduced.
