Robust Adaptive Full-Order TSM Control Based on Neural Network

Abstract

Existing full-order terminal sliding mode (FOTSM) control methods often require a priori knowledge of the system model. To tackle this problem, two novel neural-network-based FOTSM control methods were proposed. The first one was model based but did not require knowledge of the uncertainties’ bounds. The second one was model free and did not require knowledge of the system model. Finite-time convergence of the two schemes was verified by theoretical analysis and simulation cases. Meanwhile, the designed methods avoided singularity as well as chattering.
