In order to make the manipulator track the desired trajectory in a finite time, a new control method based on fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode has been designed. This method combines the traditional fast terminal sliding mode with the nonsingular terminal sliding mode, has rapidity, nonsingularity, finite-time convergence, and strong robustness, and can effectively suppress the inherent chattering phenomenon of the sliding mode controller. The nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode surface is used to accelerate the convergence speed of manipulator trajectory tracking error, and the singularity problem in terminal sliding mode is solved. The finite-time convergence of the algorithm is proved by the Lyapunov function. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve accurate finite-time trajectory tracking characteristics and has robustness against external disturbances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
