Robot Control Using Intelligent Gain Sliding Mode

Sliding Mode Control of Robot Manipulators via Intelligent Approaches

1.1 Robot manipulators Robot manipulators are well-known as nonlinear systems including strong coupling between their dynamics (Craig, 1996). These characteristics, in company with: 1) structured uncertainties caused by model imprecision of link parameters, payload variation, etc., and 2) unstructured uncertainties produced by un-modeled dynamics –such as nonlinear friction and external disturb...

Adaptive Sliding Mode Tracking Control of Mobile Robot in Dynamic Environment Using Artificial Potential Fields

Solution to the safe and collision-free trajectory of the wheeled mobile robot in cluttered environments containing the static and/or dynamic obstacle has become a very popular and challenging research topic in the last decade. Notwithstanding of the amount of publications dealing with the different aspects of this field, the ongoing efforts to address the more effective and creative methods is...

Submicrometer Friction Compensation Using Variable-gain Sliding Mode Control

The paper discusses a sliding mode control suitable for compensation of nonlinear microdynamic friction and parameter changes in a ball-screw driven slide system. The conventional, fixed-gain sliding mode control has a limited range of performance in the presence of varying nonlinear friction in submicrometer trajectory tracking. In this work, an algorithm that effectively calculates variable s...

Gain reduction in switched sliding-mode control

A switched sliding mode control strategy for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems is presented in this paper. It is characterized by an event– driven gain reduction mechanism which relies on a decomposition of the system state into regions. By enforcing sliding mode behaviors on a suitable set of sliding manifolds, while avoiding the generation of limit cycles, the proposed strategy proves to...
