    This article proposes a novel hybrid metaheuristic technique based on nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller, time delay estimation method, an extended grey wolf optimization algorithm and adaptive super twisting control law. The fast convergence is assured by nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller owing to its inherent nonlinear property and no prior knowledge of the robot dynamics is required due to time delay estimation. The proposed extended grey wolf optimization algorithm determines an optimal approximation of the inertial matrix of the robot. Moreover, adaptive super twisting control based on the Lyapunov approach overcomes the disturbances and compensate the higher dynamics not achievable by the time delay estimation method. First, the fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller relying on time delay estimation is designed and is combined with super twisting control for chattering attenuation. The constant gain matrix of the time delay is determined by the proposed extended grey wolf optimization algorithm. Second, an adaptive law based on Lyapunov stability theorem is designed for improving tracking performance in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. The novelty of the proposed method lies in the adaptive law where the prior knowledge of parametric uncertainties and disturbances is not needed. Moreover, the constant gain matrix of time delay estimation method is obtained using the proposed algorithm. The control method has been tested in simulation on a 3-degrees of freedom robotic manipulator in trajectory tracking mode in the presence of control disturbances and uncertainties. The results obtained confirmed the effectiveness, robustness and the superior precision of the proposed control method compared to the classical ones

    Development of Novel Compound Controllers to Reduce Chattering of Sliding Mode Control

    The robotics and dynamic systems constantly encountered with disturbances such as micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscope under disturbances result in mechanical coupling terms between two axes, friction forces in exoskeleton robot joints, and unmodelled dynamics of robot manipulator. Sliding mode control (SMC) is a robust controller. The main drawback of the sliding mode controller is that it produces high-frequency control signals, which leads to chattering. The research objective is to reduce chattering, improve robustness, and increase trajectory tracking of SMC. In this research, we developed controllers for three different dynamic systems: (i) MEMS, (ii) an Exoskeleton type robot, and (iii) a 2 DOF robot manipulator. We proposed three sliding mode control methods such as robust sliding mode control (RSMC), new sliding mode control (NSMC), and fractional sliding mode control (FSMC). These controllers were applied on MEMS gyroscope, Exoskeleton robot, and robot manipulator. The performance of the three proposed sliding mode controllers was compared with conventional sliding mode control (CSMC). The simulation results verified that FSMC exhibits better performance in chattering reduction, faster convergence, finite-time convergence, robustness, and trajectory tracking compared to RSMC, CSMC, and NSFC. Also, the tracking performance of NSMC was compared with CSMC experimentally, which demonstrated better performance of the NSMC controller

    Dynamic modeling, property investigation, and adaptive controller design of serial robotic manipulators modeled with structural compliance

    Get PDF
    Research results on general serial robotic manipulators modeled with structural compliances are presented. Two compliant manipulator modeling approaches, distributed and lumped parameter models, are used in this study. System dynamic equations for both compliant models are derived by using the first and second order influence coefficients. Also, the properties of compliant manipulator system dynamics are investigated. One of the properties, which is defined as inaccessibility of vibratory modes, is shown to display a distinct character associated with compliant manipulators. This property indicates the impact of robot geometry on the control of structural oscillations. Example studies are provided to illustrate the physical interpretation of inaccessibility of vibratory modes. Two types of controllers are designed for compliant manipulators modeled by either lumped or distributed parameter techniques. In order to maintain the generality of the results, neither linearization is introduced. Example simulations are given to demonstrate the controller performance. The second type controller is also built for general serial robot arms and is adaptive in nature which can estimate uncertain payload parameters on-line and simultaneously maintain trajectory tracking properties. The relation between manipulator motion tracking capability and convergence of parameter estimation properties is discussed through example case studies. The effect of control input update delays on adaptive controller performance is also studied

    Nonlinear control and perturbation compensation in UAV quadrotor

    Get PDF
    The great interest in the field of flying robotics encouraged a lot of research work to improve its control strategies. This thesis is about modelling and design of controllers and perturbation compensators for a UAV quadrotor. Four approaches are built in this purpose. The first approach is perturbation attenuation system in a UAV quadrotor. Hierarchical Perturbation Compensator (HPC) is built to compensate for system uncertainties, non-modelled dynamics and external disturbances. It comprises three subsystems designed to provide continuous and precise estimation of perturbation. Each subsystem is designed to avoid the drawbacks of the other. This approach has superior proficiency to decrease unknown perturbation either external or internal. The second approach is a Three Loop Uncertainties Compensator (TLUC), designed to estimate unknown time- varying uncertainties and perturbations to reduce their effects and in order to preserve stability. The novelty of this approach is that the TLUC can estimate and compensate for uncertainties and disturbances in three loops made to provide tracking to residual uncertainty in order to achieve a higher level of support to the controller. Exponential reaching law sliding mode controller is proposed and applied. It is integrated based on Lyapunov stability theory to obtain fast response with lowest possible chattering. The performance is verified through analyses, simulations and experiments. The third approach is Feedback Linearization based on Sliding Mode Control (FLSMC). The purpose is to provide nonlinear control that reduces the effect of the highly coupled dynamic behavior and the hard nonlinearity in the quadrotor. The proposed controller uses a Second Order sliding mode Exact Differentiator SOED to estimate the velocity and the acceleration. The fourth approach proposes an improved Non-Singular Terminal Super-Twisting Control for the problem of position and attitude tracking of quadrotor systems. The super-twisting algorithm is an effective control used to provide high precision and less chattering. The proposed method is based on a non-singular terminal sliding surface with new exponent that solves the problem of singularity in terminal sliding mode control. Design procedure and the stability analysis using Lyapunov theory are detailed for the considered approaches. The performance is verified through analyses, simulations and experiments
