Neural Network Non-Singular Terminal Sliding Mode Control for Target Tracking of Underactuated Underwater Robots with Prescribed Performance

Abstract

This paper proposes a neural network-based nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller with prescribed performances for the target tracking problem of underactuated underwater robots. Firstly, the mathematical formulation of the target tracking problem is presented with an underactuated underwater robot model and the corresponding control objectives. Then, the target tracking errors from the line-of-sight guidance law are transformed using the prescribed performance technique to achieve good dynamic performance and steady-state performance that meet the pre-set conditions. Meanwhile, considering the model’s uncertainties and the external disturbances to the underwater robots, a target tracking controller is proposed based on the radial basis function (RBF) neural network and the non-singular terminal sliding mode control. Lyapunov stability analysis and homogeneity theory prove the tracking errors can converge on a small region that contains the origin with prescribed performance in finite time. In the simulation comparison, the controller proposed in this paper had better dynamic performance, steady-state performance and chattering supression. In particular, the steady-state error of the tracking error was lower, and the convergence time of the tracking error in the vertical distance was reduced by 19.1%.

Research on Neural Network Terminal Sliding Mode Control of Robotic Arms Based on Novel Reaching Law and Improved Salp Swarm Algorithm

“…The reference trajectories are q d1 = q d2 = q d3 = q d4 = q d5 = q d6 = 0.1sint. The parameters of the sliding mode control are α = 2, β = 0.4, λ = 1.5, The ALSSA-RBFTSM algorithm designed in this paper is compared with the global fast terminal sliding mode (GFTSM) algorithm proposed in the literature [34] and the RBF neural network fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode (RBF-FNTSM) algorithm proposed in the literature [35]. From Figure 2, it can be seen that the GFTSM algorithm has the smallest initial control torques, but it experiences the most serious control torque jitter.…”

Object tracking method based on edge detection and morphology

“…The metrics for evaluating this paper's algorithm as well as other tracking algorithms in this experiment include the average distance precision (DP) [39] and the average overlap precision (OP) [40]. Distance precision is the percentage of frames with center error below a certain threshold (usually 20) to the total number of video frames, which can effectively reflect the robustness of the algorithm.…”
