Trajectory Tracking Control of Euler–Lagrange Systems Using a Fractional Fixed-Time Method

Abstract

The results of this research provide fixed-time fractional-order control for Euler–Lagrange systems that are subject to external disturbances. The first step in the process of developing a new system involves the introduction of a method known as fractional-order fixed-time non-singular terminal sliding mode control (FoFtNTSM). The advantages of fractional-order calculus and NTSM are brought together in this system, which result in rapid convergence, fixed-time stability, and smooth control inputs. Lyapunov analysis reveals whether the closed-loop system is stable over the duration of the time period specified. The performance of the suggested method when applied to the dynamics of the Euler–Lagrange system is evaluated and demonstrated with the help of computer simulations.
