Enhancement of the Tracking Performance for Robot Manipulator by Using the Feed-forward Scheme and Reasonable Switching Mechanism

Ha Quang Thinh Ngo, Minh Hoang Nguyen

Abstract


Robot manipulator has become an exciting topic for many researchers during several decades. They have investigated the advanced algorithms such as sliding mode control, neural network, or genetic scheme to implement these developments. However, they lacked the integration of these algorithms to explore many potential expansions. Simultaneously, the complicated system requires a lot of computational costs, which is not always supported. Therefore, this paper presents a novel design of switching mechanisms to control the robot manipulator. This investigation is expected to achieve superior performance by flexibly adjusting various strategies for better selection. The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) scheme is well-known, easy to implement, and ensures rapid computation while it might not have much control effect. The advanced interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control properly deals with nonlinear factors and disturbances. Consequently, the PID scheme is switched when the tracking error is less than the threshold or is far from the target. Otherwise, the interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is activated to cope with unknown factors. The main contributions of this paper are (i) the recommendation of a suitable switching mechanism to drive the robot manipulator, (ii) the successful integration of the interval type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control to track the desired trajectory, and (iii) the launching of several tests to validate the proposed controller with robot model. From these achievements, it would be stated that the proposed approach is effective in tracking performance, robust in disturbance-rejection, and feasible in practical implementation.
