Abstract
This brief investigates the problem of fixed-time trajectory tracking control of uncertain robotic systems. Firstly, an adaptive radial basis function neural network is designed to estimate the model uncertainties and viscous frictions in robotic systems. Secondly, a segmented terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) variable is adopted to alleviate the singularity problem. To improve the tracking performance, a new second-order fixed-time reaching law is designed. Then, in order to make the tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of the origin in a fixed-time independent of the initial state, a novel fixed-time non-singular TSMC based on the adaptive neural network is proposed. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed control method.
