Position Regulation of Industrial Robots via Bounded Integral Terminal Sliding Mode Control Algorithm

For the position regulation problem of six degrees of freedom (6-DOF) industrial robots, a novel bounded finite-time position regulate algorithm is developed and employed to improve the dynamic performance of the industrial robots. First, based on the model feature, a bounded finite-time position regulate law is proposed to overcome input saturation constraints for the considered systems. Rigorous analysis guarantees the finite-time stability of the closed-loop system in the absence of disturbance. Then, to improve the disturbance rejection property of the robot systems in the presence of disturbance, an improved bounded finite-time control law based on the integral terminal sliding mode is constructed. Finally, simulations and experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed bounded control law.
