Adaptive Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control of Omnidirectional Mobile Robots with Prescribed Performance
Jeng‐Tze Huang, Chun‐Kai Chiu
Abstract
Adaptive fuzzy sliding-mode control design for omnidirectional mobile robots with prescribed performance is presented in this work. First, an error transformation which transforms the constrained variable into an unconstrained one is carried out. Next, a fuzzy logic system (FLS) for approximating the unknown dynamics is constructed. Based on such a model, a nominal adaptive linearizing controller incorporating a serial-parallel model (SPM)-based composite algorithm, which improves the tracking performance of the overall closed-loop system, is synthesized. To solve the so-called “loss of controllability” problem, a smooth-switching algorithm is embedded which hands over the control authority to an auxiliary sliding-mode controller until the danger is safely bypassed. The proposed design ensures the semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded stability of the closed-loop signals. Simulation works demonstrating the validity of the proposed design are presented in the final.
