In this study, to reduce the impact that permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) servo system on the sensitivity of external and internal interferences, an adaptive super-twisting-based nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control (AST-NFTSMC) scheme is put forward. First of all, the mathematical model of PMLSM contains uncertainties is set up, and the control law is established to make position signal converge to given state asymptotically. Second, by introducing the super-twisting algorithm, the chattering caused by nonlinear switching function in traditional method is weakened. However, in actual industrial situations, it is difficult to determine the boundary of lumped disturbance, which makes the switching gains in super-twisting algorithm cannot be accurately selected. Therefore, an adaptive law is introduced to adjust the switching gains online, so that the gains can be dynamically adjusted within a limited range during operation, so as to further weaken chattering. Finally, the practicability of AST-NFTSMC is proved in theory and verified by system experiments. The experimental results prove that AST-NFTSMC can significantly weaken chattering, and result in robust control performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For accurate trajectory tracking of robotic manipulators with actuators, a novel nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control (NFTSMC) strategy based on radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is put forward and investigated in this paper. Because of the existence of nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) manifold, the controller possesses high precision and fast convergence. Considering that it is difficult to obtain accurate model parameters owing to modeling errors or external disturbances, RBFNN is used to approximate the nonlinear uncertainties due to its simple structure and great generalization ability. A new adaptive law is designed to adjust RBFNN. In order to compensate the estimation errors and suppress other unstable factors, a robust term is introduced. A new adaptive law is developed to flexibly adjust the robust term. Then, Lyapunov theory is applied to prove the system stability and finite-time convergence. Finally, a small-sized industrial robotic manipulator Epson LS3-401S with its first two joints is taken as the simulation plant, and several simulations between the proposed controller and the other two controllers are performed. External disturbances and other two conditions are considered to simulate the real environment, and the corresponding results verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed controller.
