Abstract
In this study, we investigate the prescribed-time non-singular terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) for high-order nonlinear systems. Initially, a novel time-varying, high-order terminal sliding mode manifold is recursively constructed. Based on this newly proposed manifold, a prescribed-time non-singular TSM controller is subsequently developed. The proposed algorithm effectively eliminates the singularity problem and offers a simpler method for specifying the convergence time, independent of initial system conditions and other design parameters. To mitigate the chattering issue of the controller, we introduce a variable-gain prescribed-time disturbance observer. Leveraging this observer, we develop a prescribed-time non-singular TSMC strategy. A rigorous Lyapunov analysis demonstrates the prescribed-time stability of both the proposed observer and controller. The uniform boundedness of the state signals and control input is also established using an inductive method. Finally, experimental validation is provided, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.
