In this paper, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode concept is introduced for the control of a class of nonlinear dynamical systems. This nonsingular terminal sliding mode control not only enables the £nite time convergence of the system equilibrium, but also eliminates the singularity problem associated with conventional terminal sliding mode control. Simulations are presented to show the effec...

In this paper, experimental study of robust control for robot manipulator actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles was realized. The experimented controller belonged to the class of variable structure systems which is called nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM). The control approach is based on the time delay estimation method. First, the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control approach w...

This paper proposes a second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode decomposed control method for multivariable linear systems with internal parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. First, the systems are converted into the block controllable form, consisting of an input-output subsystem and a stable internal dynamic subsystem. A special second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode...

This study presented an improved adaptive nonlinear terminal sliding mode control technique for the manipulator robot to achieve better adaptability and faster finite-time convergence. First, self-updating algorithm will be developed relax problems of fixed gain main proposed controller. Next, neural network estimator is applied by estimating dynamics increase tracking performance. In addition,...

To solve the problems that control performance of high torque traction interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) is degraded by parameter perturbation and unknown disturbance, this paper proposes a novel Improved Super-Twisting non-singular fast terminal sliding mode strategy (IST-NFTSMC) for IPMSM based on Extended Nonsingular Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Disturbance Observer (ENFTSMDO...

This paper proposes a super-twisting terminal sliding mode-based robust impedance controller to improve the compliance and robustness in robot-environment interaction. Based on desired dynamics, an reference trajectory is constructed. Then, based sliding-mode, designed guarantee achievement of dynamics finite-time through convergence error. The main contribution this that proposed control impro...

A continuous nonsingular terminal sliding mode control approach is proposed for mismatched disturbance attenuation. A novel nonlinear dynamic sliding mode surface is designed based on a finite-time disturbance observer. The time taken to reach the desired setpoint from any initial states under mismatched disturbance is guaranteed to be finite time. In addition, the proposed method exhibits the ...
