Abstract
The article presents an active fault-tolerant control scheme with an integral terminal sliding mode controller for the UAV systems. This scheme effectively addresses saturation issues, disturbances, and sensor and actuator faults. Initially, the quadcopter UAV's model is represented in state space form. Subsequently, an augmented system incorporating auxiliary states from sensor faults is developed. An adaptive sliding mode observer is proposed for estimating the actuator and sensor faults. The integral terminal sliding mode fault-tolerant control, designed for altitude and attitude regulation, relies on fault estimation data. In contrast, a cascade proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is employed for position control. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over existing control algorithms.

Abstract
This paper presents a control method for trajectory tracking of a robotic manipulator, subject to practical constraints and uncertainties. The proposed method is established upon an adaptive backstepping procedure incorporating a tangent-type barrier Lyapunov function and it preserves some important metrics of trajectory tracking such as fast and user-defined settling time response and robustness against actuation faults and unknown control gain. The proposed design maintains the system trajectory within a prescribed performance bound and relaxes the assumption of the bounded initial condition. These salient features preserve the system within a safety bound and, consequently, guarantee the system stability and safety. The performance of the proposed control method is validated on a 3-DOF PUMA 560 robotic manipulator benchmark model, with different operation scenarios. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control method.

Abstract
In this paper, a nearly optimal tracking control is proposed for n-links robotic manipulators subject to parameter uncertainties, time-profile failures, and input saturation constraints. Firstly, the practical terminal sliding-mode (PTSM) manifold with a linear additional term is proposed to combine the system states related to joint rotation, such that the controlled states quickly fall into a tiny neighborhood of the equilibrium once they reach the PTSM manifold. Secondly, a nearly optimal sliding-mode reaching law is designed by using the adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) technique. Benefiting from a non-quadratic positive defined mapping of the proposed performance index, which relates to the derivative of the sliding-mode function, reduced-order system dynamics can be constrained to a desired region. For the bounded actuator fault caused by various inducements such as the power supply fluctuation and the wear of parts, a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is introduced to compensate for this, and the input saturation constraints of the controlled plant are also compensated at the same time. Innovatively, the node weights of RBFNN are updated by the critic network of the ADP framework, such that the integrity of the proposed control strategy is improved. Simulations verify the main conclusions.

Abstract
This article investigates the robust adaptive learning control for space robots with target capturing. Based on the momentum conservation theory, the impact dynamics is constructed to derive the relationship of generalized velocity in the pre-impact and post-impact phase. Considering the nonlinear dynamics with contact impact, the robust control using nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) and fast NTSM is designed to achieve the fast realization of the desired states. Furthermore, for the unknown dynamics of the combination system after capturing a target, the adaptive learning control is developed based on neural network and disturbance observer. Through the serial-parallel estimation model, the prediction error is constructed for the update of adaptive law. The system signals involved in the Lyapunov function are proved to be bounded and the sliding mode surface converges in finite time. Simulation studies present the desired tracking and learning performance.

Abstract
In this article, an adaptive sliding-mode disturbance observer (ASMDO)-based finite-time control scheme with prescribed performance is proposed for an unmanned aerial manipulator (UAM) under uncertainties and external disturbances. First, to take into account the dynamic characteristics of the UAM, a dynamic model of the UAM with state-dependent uncertainties and external disturbances is introduced. Then, note that a priori bounded uncertainty may impose a priori constraint on the system state before obtaining closed-loop stability. To remove this assumption, an ASMDO with a nested adaptive structure is introduced to effectively estimate and compensate the external disturbances and state-dependent uncertainties in finite time without the information of the upper bound of the uncertainties and disturbances and their derivatives. Furthermore, based on the proposed ASMDO, the finite-time control scheme with the prescribed performance is presented to ensure finite-time convergence and implement the specified transient and steady-state performance. The Lyapunov tools are utilized to analyze the stability of the proposed controller. Finally, the correctness and performance of the proposed controller are illustrated through numerical simulation comparisons and outdoor experimental comparisons.

Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, we present a broad learning control method for a two-link flexible manipulator with prescribed performance (PP) and actuator faults. The trajectory tracking errors are processed through two consecutive error transformations to achieve the constraints in terms of the overshoot, transient error, and steady-state error. And the barrier Lyapunov function is employed to implement constraints on the transition state variable. Then, the improved radial basis function neural networks combined with broad learning theory are constructed to approximate the unknown model dynamics of flexible robotic manipulator. The proposed fault-tolerant PP control cannot only ensure tracking errors converge into a small region near zero within the preset finite time but also address the problem caused by actuator faults. All the closed-loop error signals are uniformly ultimately bounded via the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed control is verified by the simulation results.

Abstract
Introduction To solve the problem of control failure caused by system failure of deep-water salvage equipment under severe sea conditions, an event-triggered fault-tolerant control method (PEFC) based on proportional logarithmic projection analysis is proposed innovatively. Methods First, taking the claw-type underwater salvage robot as the research object, amore universal thruster fault model was established to describe the fault state of equipment failure, interruption, stuck, and poor contact. Second, the controller was designed by the proportional logarithmic projection analytical method. The system input signal was amplified and projected as a virtual input, which replaces the original input to isolate and learn the fault factor online by the analytical algorithm. The terminal sliding mode observer was used to compensate for the external disturbance of the system, and the adaptive neural network was used to fit the dynamic uncertainty of the system. The system input was introduced into the event-triggered mechanism to reduce the output regulation frequency of the fault thruster. Results Finally, the simulation results showed that the method adopted in this study reduced the power output by 28.95% and the update frequency of power output by 75% compared with the traditional adaptive overdrive fault-tolerant control (AOFC) method and realized accurate pose tracking under external disturbance and system dynamic uncertain disturbance. Discussion It has been proven that the algorithm used in this research can still reasonably allocate power to reduce the load of a fault thruster and complete the tracking task under fault conditions.

Abstract
A multi-axis gimbal tracking device is necessary for the micro spacecraft to detect the target. The movement of the tracking device can generate a marked impact on its carrier in the microgravity environment, which should be taken into account when high accuracy is required. The model of the micro spacecraft and the gimbal tracking device can be regarded as a multi-axis open-chain manipulator composed of rigid bodies and joints. Then the dynamics of the model is established by the twist-wrench formulation. A novel dual-loop integral-type fast terminal sliding mode control scheme is proposed to improve the attitude tracking performance of the micro spacecraft. The attitude dynamics of the micro spacecraft is decomposed into two parts, which are used to design controllers to track the angle and the dummy angular velocity signals, respectively. An adaptive disturbance observer is designed to estimate and compensate for the external disturbance. To maintain high positioning accuracy and restrict excessive control torque, a modified nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller is proposed for the gimbal tracking device. Accordingly, the proposed schemes have the advantages of nonsingularity, fast convergence, good robustness, and high tracking accuracy. The simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the modeling method and the effectiveness of the control schemes.

Abstract
In this paper, the problem of an APPTMC for manipulators is investigated. During the robot's operation, the error states should be kept within an outlined range to ensure a steady-state and dynamic attitude. Firstly, we propose the modified PPFs. Afterward, a series of transformed errors is used to convert "constrained" systems into equivalent "unconstrained" ones, to facilitate control design. The modified PPFs ensure position tracking errors are managed in a pre-designed performance domain. Especially, the SSE boundaries will be symmetrical to zero, so when the transformed error is zero, the tracking error will be as well. Secondly, a modified NISMS based on the transformed errors allows for determining the highest acceptable range of the tracking errors in the steady-state, finite-time convergence index, and singularity elimination. Thirdly, a fixed-time USOSMO is proposed to directly estimate the lumped uncertainty. Fourthly, an ASTwCL is applied to deal with observer output errors and chattering. Finally, an observer-based-control solution is synthesized from the above techniques to achieve PCP in the sense of finite-time Lyapunov stability. In addition, the precision, robustness, as well as harmful chattering reduction of the proposed APPTMC are improved significantly. The Lyapunov theory is used to analyze the stability of closed-loop systems. Throughout simulations, the proposed PPTMC has been shown to perform well and be effective.

Abstract
To maintain the safe operation and acceptable performance of robot manipulators when faults occur inside the system, fault-tolerant control must deal differently uncertainties and disturbances, especially with the occurrence of loss-effective faults. Therefore, in this paper, an active fault-tolerant control for robot manipulators based on the combination of a novel finite-time synchronous fast terminal sliding mode control and extended state observer is proposed. Due to the internal constraints of the synchronization technique, the position error at each actuator simultaneously approaches zero and tends to be equal. Therefore, the proposed controller can suppress the effects of faults and guarantee the acceptable performance of robot manipulators when faults occur. First, an extended state observer is designed to estimate the lumped uncertainties, disturbance and faults. Then, the information from the observer is used to combine with the main novel synchronous fast terminal sliding mode controller as a compensator. By combining the merits of the observer compensation, sliding mode and synchronization technique, the proposed fault-tolerant controller is able to deal with uncertainties and disturbances in normal operation mode and reduce the effects of faults in case faults occur, especially in the occurrence of loss-effective faults. Finally, the enhanced safety, reality and effectiveness of the proposed fault-tolerant control are evaluated through the control of a 3-DOF robot manipulator in both a simulated environment and experiment.

Abstract
Ship derusting has the characteristics of a complex operation environment, high labor intensity and low efficiency. In order to better cope with this situation, a new type of cable-driven parallel derusting robot (CDPDR) is proposed in this article. To improve the positioning accuracy and anti-interference capacity of the motion platform where the end effector is mounted, the system’s dynamic model, considering wave excitation, is established. Further, the controllable workspace and cable tension optimization algorithm are studied. In addition, a fast non-singular terminal sliding-mode controller is designed. Meanwhile, the adaptive technique is used to estimate the disturbance upper bound. Then, the Lyapunov theory is applied to prove the stability of the system. Finally, the performance of the controller is verified by high-fidelity simulations in two different scenarios. The results show that the proposed controller can converge in finite time and maintain small error under multiple external disturbances. The relevant research in this article can provide theoretical guidance for the application of CDPDRs on ships.

Abstract
Control of closed-kinematic chain manipulators (CKCM) with uncertain dynamics is a tremendous challenge due to the synchronization among actual joints and end-effectors, limited workspace, and nonexistent closed-form solutions of forward kinematics. This paper proposes a synchronization control scheme based on the concept of sliding mode control (SMC) developed for CKCMs called nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control (NFTSMC) in conjunction with the time-delay estimation (TDE) method to address the above issues. First, the cross-coupling error is derived by combining position errors and synchronization errors to achieve the synchronization goal and then used to form a sliding mode surface of the NFTSMC. After that, a control law is developed based on the sliding mode surface to ensure faster asymptotic convergence of the errors of both position and synchronization of the CKCMs in a finite and minimal time. Then, the TDE control scheme with no prior knowledge of manipulator dynamics is employed to estimate the unknown dynamics and disturbances and thereby reject the effects of chattering caused by the NFTSMC. Lyapunov stability theorem is employed to show that the overall system controlled by the proposed control scheme achieves asymptotic convergence of errors and system stability. The performance of the proposed control is assessed by computer simulation on a 2 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) planar CKCM manipulator and simulation results are presented and discussed.

Abstract
This article focuses on designing an adaptive sliding mode controller via state and output feedback for nonlinear singular fractional-order systems (SFOSs) with mismatched uncertainties. Firstly, on the basis of extending the dimension of the SFOS, a new integral sliding mode surface is constructed. Through this special sliding surface, the sliding mode of the descriptor system does not contain a singular matrix E. Then, the sufficient conditions that ensure the stability of sliding mode motion are given by using linear matrix inequality. Finally, the control law based on an adaptive mechanism that is used to update the nonlinear terms is designed to ensure the SFOS satisfies the reaching condition. The applicability of the proposed method is illustrated by a practical example of a fractional-order circuit system and two numerical examples.

Abstract
In this study, a backstepping-based fault-tolerant controller for a robotic manipulator system with input and output constraints was developed. First, a barrier Lyapunov function was adopted to ensure that the system output satisfied time-varying constraints. Subsequently, the actuator input saturation and asymmetric dead-zone characteristics were also considered, and the actuator characteristics were described using a continuous function. The impacts of actuator failures and unknown dynamical parameters of the system were eliminated by employing Gaussian radial basis function neural networks. The external disturbances were compensated for, using a disturbance observer. Meanwhile, a finite-time dynamic surface technique was adopted to accelerate the convergence of the system errors. Finally, simulation of a 2-degrees-of-freedom robotic manipulator system showed the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Abstract
In this article, the optimal control problem for robotic manipulators (RMs) with prescribed constraints is addressed. Considering the environmental conditions and requirements of practical applications, prescribed constraints are imposed on the system states to guarantee the control performance and normal operation of the robotic system. Accordingly, an error transformation function is adopted to cope with the prescribed constraints and generate an equivalent unconstrained error for the convenience of the intelligent control design. In order to improve the learning ability and optimize the control performance, critic learning (CL) is introduced to the control design of the constrained RM based on the transformed equivalent unconstrained system. In addition, the stability analysis is given to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed CL-based control. Finally, simulations are conducted on a two-degree-of-freedom (DOF)-constrained RM to further validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Abstract
This paper studies a novel adaptive fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode (FO-NTSM) control strategy for omnidirectional mobile robot manipulator (OMRM) with unknown parameters and external disturbances. Firstly, we adopt the fuzzy wavelet neural networks (FWNNs) to estimate the dynamic uncertainty of the OMRM because it has superior function approximation capability. Secondly, we design the adaptive NTSM controller to attenuate external disturbances by virtue of adjusting the weights of the FWNNs online. Moreover, we obtain a fractional-order (FO) control criterion, which speed up the convergence of the algorithm. In addition, we prove the globally robust stability of the OMRM control system through a designed Lyapunov function. Finally, simulation and experiment researches indicate the feasible and validity of the presented method.

Abstract
This paper proposes a barrier function adaptive non-singular terminal sliding mode controller for a six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) quad-rotor in the existence of matched disturbances. For this reason, a linear sliding surface according to the tracking error dynamics is proposed for the convergence of tracking errors to origin. Afterward, a novel non-singular terminal sliding surface is suggested to guarantee the finite-time reachability of the linear sliding surface to origin. Moreover, for the rejection of the matched disturbances that enter into the quad-rotor system, an adaptive control law based on barrier function is recommended to approximate the matched disturbances at any moment. The barrier function-based control technique has two valuable properties. First, this function forces the error dynamics to converge on a region near the origin in a finite time. Secondly, it can remove the increase in the adaptive gain because of the matched disturbances. Lastly, simulation results are given to demonstrate the validation of this technique.

Abstract
This paper presents a predefined-time convergent robust control algorithm that allows the control designer to set the convergence time in advance, independently of initial conditions, deterministic disturbances, and stochastic noises. The control law is consequently designed and verified by simulations for a full-scale 4-degrees-of-freedom (4D) permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) system in cases of a disturbance-free system with completely measurable states, a disturbance-free system with incompletely measurable states, a system with incompletely measurable states in the presence of deterministic disturbances, and a system with incompletely measurable states in the presence of both deterministic disturbances and stochastic noises. Numerical simulations are provided for the full-scale 4D PMSM system in order to validate the obtained theoretical results in each of the considered cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to design a predefined-time convergent control law for multi-dimensional systems with incompletely measurable states in the presence of both deterministic disturbances and stochastic noises.

A Robust Observer-Based Control Strategy for n-DOF Uncertain Robot Manipulators with Fixed-Time Stability. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21217084.

Abstract
In this paper, a robust observer-based control strategy for n-DOF uncertain robot manipulators with fixed-time stability was developed. The novel fixed-time nonsingular sliding mode surface enables control errors to converge to the equilibrium point quickly within fixed time without singularity. The development of the novel fixed-time disturbance observer based on a uniform robust exact differentiator also allows uncertain terms and exterior disturbances to be proactively addressed. The designed observer can accurately approximate uncertain terms within a fixed time and contribute to significant chattering reduction in the traditional sliding mode control. A robust observer-based control strategy was formulated, according to a combination of the fixed-time nonsingular terminal sliding mode control method and the designed observer, to yield global fixed time stability for n-DOF uncertain robot manipulators. The proposed controller proved definitively that it was able to obtain global stabilization in fixed time. The approximation capability of the proposed observer, the convergence of the proposed sliding surface, and the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in fixed time were fully confirmed by simulation performance on an industrial robot manipulator.

Abstract
In this article, a robust adaptive learning control strategy for uncertain single-input-single-output systems in strict-feedback form and controllability canonical form (CCF) is studied. For the strict-feedback system, the dynamic surface control is introduced while for the controllability canonical system, sliding-mode control is further constructed. The finite-time design is introduced for fast convergence. Under the switching mechanism, the intelligent design and the robust technique work together to obtain robust tracking performance. Once the states run out of the domain of intelligent control, the robust item will pull the states back while inside the neural working domain, the composite learning is developed to achieve higher approximation precision by building the prediction error for the weight update. The closed-loop system stability is analyzed via the Lyapunov approach. Especially for the CCF, the finite-time convergence is achieved while the system signals are globally uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulation studies on the general nonlinear systems and the flight dynamics show that the new design scheme obtains better tracking performance with higher precision and stronger robustness.

Abstract
As industrial robots are characterized by flexibility, load variation, and unknown interference, it is necessary to develop a control strategy with strong robustness and adaptability, fast convergence rate, and simple structure. Sliding mode control is a special method widely used to handle nonlinear robot control. However, the existing control law for sliding mode control has limitations in the chattering and convergence rate. The sliding mode manifold and reaching law are firstly discussed in this article. In the meanwhile, a proposed control law for sliding mode control combining linear sliding mode manifold and double-power reaching law is developed, which is based on the robot dynamic equation derived by the Udwadia–Kalaba theory. Furthermore, a compared control law for sliding mode control combining linear sliding mode manifold with exponential reaching law is presented to test the proposed control law for sliding mode control. The comparison indicates that the proposed law effectively improves the performance in convergence rate and the chattering of constraint tracking control. Finally, the two control laws for sliding mode control are applied to the Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm robot system with modeling error and uncertain external disturbance to demonstrate the merit and validation of the proposed scheme.

Abstract
Considering that the nominal dynamics model or numerous parameters of robotics are usually unsuitable for real applications, a model-free adaptive sliding mode control with an adjustable funnel boundary is proposed for robot manipulators with uncertainties. First, time delay estimation (TDE) technique is utilized to estimate the unknown dynamics of the control system, which ensures an attractive model-free advantage. Furthermore, a modified funnel function is introduced to transform the trajectory tracking error fall within an adjustable funnel boundary strictly. Then, based on the transformed error variable, a novel funnel nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control scheme is developed to enhance the transient and steady-state tracking performance of the closed-loop control system. To cope with the TDE error, an adaptive update method is designed with only one adaptive parameter, which is adaptively tuned according to the sliding surface. Finally, the simulation and experimental results are presented to illustrate the superiority and high-precision tracking performance of the proposed approach.

Abstract
In this article, a new neural-network-based sliding-mode control (SMC) of an uncertain robot is presented. The distinguishing characteristic of the proposed control scheme is that the switching gain is designed as a dynamic model approximated value, which is handled by using the neural-network strategy to adapt the unknown dynamics and disturbances. In the presented control scheme, the modeling information of the robotic system is not required and only one parameter is required to be estimated in each joint of the robotic system. Subsequently, the Lyapunov method is utilized to prove that the trajectory tracking errors will eventually converge to a neighborhood of zero. Finally, the contrast simulation studies reveal that with the proposed control scheme, the problems of chattering and high-speed switching of control input, which takes place in a conventional SMC, can be addressed, and a satisfactory control precision is guaranteed.

Abstract
This article investigates the problem of small fault detection (sFD) for discrete-time nonlinear systems with uncertain dynamics. The faults are considered to be "small" in the sense that the system trajectories in the faulty mode always remain close to those in the normal mode, and the magnitude of fault can be smaller than that of the system's uncertain dynamics. A novel adaptive dynamics learning-based sFD framework is proposed. Specifically, an adaptive dynamics learning approach using radial basis function neural networks (RBF NNs) is first developed to achieve locally accurate identification of the system uncertain dynamics, where the obtained knowledge can be stored and represented in terms of constant RBF NNs. Based on this, a novel residual system is designed by incorporating a newmechanism of absolute measurement of system dynamics changes induced by small faults. An adaptive threshold is then developed for real-time sFD decision making. Rigorous analysis is performed to derive the detectability condition and the analytical upper bound for sFD time. Simulation studies, including an application to a three-tank benchmark engineering system, are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed approach.

Abstract
Robotic manipulators represent a class of nonlinear and multiple-degrees-of-freedom robots that have pronounced coupling effects and can be used in various applications. The challenge of understanding complexity in a system’s dynamic behavior, coupling effects, and sources of uncertainty presents substantial challenges regarding fault estimation, detection, identification, and tolerant-control (FEDIT) in a robot manipulator. Thus, a proposed active fault-tolerant control algorithm, based on an adaptive modern sliding mode observer, is represented. Due to the effect of the system’s complexities and uncertainties for fault estimation, detection, and identification (FEDI), a sliding mode observer (SMO) is proposed. To address the sliding mode observer drawbacks for FEDI such as high-frequency oscillation (chattering) and fault estimation accuracy, the modern (T-S fuzzy higher order) technique is represented. In addition, the adaptive technique is applied to the modern sliding mode observer (MSMO) to self-tune the coefficients of the fault estimation observer to increase the reliability and robustness of decision-making for diagnosis of the fault. Next, the residual delivered by the adaptive MSMO (AMSMO) is split into windows, and each window is characterized by a numerical parameter. Finally, the machine learning technique known as a decision tree adaptively derives the threshold values that are used for problems of fault detection and fault identification in this work. Due to control of the effective fault, a surface automated new sliding mode controller (SANSMC) is presented in this work. To address the challenge of chattering and unlimited uncertainties (faults), the AMSMO is applied to the sliding mode controller (SMC). In addition, the surface-automated technique is used to fine-tune the surface coefficient to reduce the chattering and faults in the robot manipulator. The results show that the machine learning-based automated robust hybrid observer significantly improves the robustness, reliability, and accuracy of FEDIT in unknown conditions.

Abstract
In consideration of accidental contact-loss due to step-change or accidentally moving out of a constrained framework, this paper focuses on solving this problem during working processes of an n-degree-of-freedom hydraulic manipulator (n-DOF manipulator). In order to overcome this phenomenon, a fault detection methodology-based virtual energy tank is employed with a shaping function to prevent the end-effector from damage or unexpected motion. This technique helps to detect when the contact-loss happens by a virtual energy variable; thus, decoupling a force control regulation. Moreover, a new trajectory for smooth motion after contact-loss detection is also discussed to increase system robustness. Additionally, to enhance tracking performance, adaptive laws are designed to compensate for system uncertainties. Comparative simulations are given on the n-DOF hydraulic manipulator to evaluate effectiveness of the impedance-based energy tank methodology under the sudden step-changed environment. Moreover, influences of control gains and setup energy parameters to the system behaviors when contact-loss happens are remarkably discussed as indispensable criteria for further development. The simulated results certified the superior effectiveness and reliability of the suggested methodology over the conventional impedance control for safe operation.

Abstract
In this paper, two finite-time active fault-tolerant controllers for a robot manipulator, which combine a synchronous terminal sliding mode control with an extended state observer, are proposed. First, an extended state observer is adopted to estimate the lumped uncertainties, disturbances, and faults. The estimation information is used to compensate the controller designed in the following step. We present an active fault-tolerant control with finite-time synchronous terminal sliding mode control, largely based on a novel finite-time synchronization error and coupling position error. We also present an active fault-tolerant control that does not use a coupling position error. By using synchronization control, the position error at each joint can simultaneously approach toward zero and toward equality, which may reduce the picking phenomenon associated with the active fault-tolerant controller strategy. Finally, simulation and experimental results for a three degree-of-freedom robot manipulator verify the effectiveness of the two proposed active fault-tolerant controllers.

Abstract
Active prosthetic knees (APKs) are widely used in the past decades. However, it is still challenging to make them more natural and controllable because: (1) most existing APKs that use rigid actuators have difficulty obtaining more natural walking; and (2) traditional finite-state impedance control has difficulty adjusting parameters for different motions and users. In this paper, a flexible APK with a compact variable stiffness actuator (VSA) is designed for obtaining more flexible bionic characteristics. The VSA joint is implemented by two motors of different sizes, which connect the knee angle and the joint stiffness. Considering the complexity of prothetic lower limb control due to unknown APK dynamics, as well as strong coupling between biological joints and prosthetic joints, an adaptive robust force/position control method is designed for generating a desired gait trajectory of the prosthesis. It can operate without the explicit model of the system dynamics and multiple tuning parameters of different gaits. The proposed model-free scheme utilizes the time-delay estimation technique, sliding mode control, and fuzzy neural network to realize finite-time convergence and gait trajectory tracking. The virtual prototype of APK was established in ADAMS as a testing platform and compared with two traditional time-delay control schemes. Some demonstrations are illustrated, which show that the proposed method has superior tracking characteristics and stronger robustness under uncertain disturbances within the trajectory error in ± 0 . 5 degrees. The VSA joint can reduce energy consumption by adjusting stiffness appropriately. Furthermore, the feasibility of this method was verified in a human–machine hybrid control model.

Abstract
In this paper, an active fault-tolerant control for a robot manipulator based on synchronous sliding mode is proposed. As the synchronization errors approach zero, the joint errors tend to become equal and also approach zero. Therefore, the synchronization technique is inherently effective for a fault-tolerant controller. To demonstrate such a system, the following implementation is presented. First, an estimator was designed with an extended state observer to estimate uncertainties/disturbances along with faults/failures. The estimator signal was used for an online compensator in the controller. A fault-tolerant controller with a combination of synchronous sliding mode technique and estimator was proposed. The stability of the system was established using Lyapunov theory. Finally, fault tolerant control was implemented in a three degree-of-freedom robot manipulator and compared to the conventional sliding mode control. This comparison shows the effectiveness of the proposed active fault-tolerant control with synchronous sliding mode technique.

Abstract
This article presents a methodology to recycle and upgrade a 4-DOF educational robot manipulator with a gripper. The robot is upgraded by providing it an artificial vision that allows obtaining the position and shape of objects collected by it. A low-cost and open-source hardware solution is also proposed to achieve motion control of the robot through a decentralized control scheme. The robot joints are actuated through five direct current motors coupled to optical encoders. Each encoder signal is fed to a proportional integral derivative controller with anti-windup that employs the motor velocity provided by a state observer. The motion controller works with only two open-architecture Arduino Mega boards, which carry out data acquisition of the optical encoder signals. MATLAB-Simulink is used to implement the controller as well as a friendly graphical interface, which allows the user to interact with the manipulator. The communication between the Arduino boards and MATLAB-Simulink is performed in real-time utilizing the Arduino IO Toolbox. Through the proposed controller, the robot follows a trajectory to collect a desired object, avoiding its collision with other objects. This fact is verified through a set of experiments presented in the paper.

Abstract
This work proposes a model-free robust control for cable-driven manipulators with disturbance. To achieve accurate, singularity-free and fast dynamical control performance, we design a new NFTSM surface utilizing a new continuous TSM-type switch element. By replacing the integral power with fractional one for the error dynamics, the designed TSM-type switch element can effectively enhance the dynamical performance of the NFTSM surface. Time-delay estimation (TDE) technique is applied to cancel out complicated nonlinear dynamics guaranteeing an excellent model-free scheme. Thanks to the designed NFTSM surface, adopted reaching law and TDE, our control can provide good comprehensive control performance effectively. Stability and comparisons of control precision and convergence speed have been theoretically analyzed. Finally, comparative experiments were conducted to prove the superiorities of our control.

Abstract
This study focuses on the fault reconstruction for a class of second-order multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with uncertainties. An innovative design scheme of terminal sliding mode observer (TSMO) is presented for which the relative degree of the system is two. In comparison with the common sliding mode observer (SMO), the proposed TSMO can converge all state estimation errors to zero in finite time, even when some states cannot be measured directly. Given that state estimation errors converge to zero in finite time, a fault reconstruction method based on an equivalent output error injection concept and a SMO-based fault isolation strategy are presented, so that the fault information after isolating disturbances can be accurately known. Simulation examples of fault reconstruction on a small unmanned underwater vehicle are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract
In this paper, a global time-varying sliding-mode control scheme with prespecified convergence time is proposed for the tracking problem of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems under parameters uncertainties and external disturbances. Firstly, a novel time-varying sliding manifold with appropriate coefficients is presented. These coefficients are tuned to eliminate the reaching phase and to drive the system states to the equilibrium in a specified time. Hence, the system states are constrained to the sliding surface from the beginning of the motion which enables the global robustness, the reduction of the initial control effort, and the meet of the convergence time requirement. Moreover, in order to address the more practical case that the upper bound of the system uncertainties and disturbances is unavailable, an adaptive time-varying sliding mode control algorithm is derived, by which the tracking error vanish as time tends to infinity. The stability of the system has been proved by the Lyapunov stability theorem, and simulation studies are conducted to show the effectiveness of the suggested control schemes.

Chattering-Free Single-Phase Robustness Sliding Mode Controller for Mismatched Uncertain Interconnected Systems with Unknown Time-Varying Delays. ENERGIES 2020.

Abstract
Variable structure control with sliding mode can provide good control performance and excellent robustness. Unfortunately, the chattering phenomenon investigated due to discontinuous switching gain restricting their applications. In this paper, a chattering free improved variable structure control (IVSC) for a class of mismatched uncertain interconnected systems with an unknown time-varying delay is proposed. A sliding function is first established to eliminate the reaching phase in traditional variable structure control (TVSC). Next, a new reduced-order sliding mode estimator (ROSME) without time-varying delay is constructed to estimate all unmeasurable state variables of plants. Then, based on the Moore-Penrose inverse approach, a decentralized single-phase robustness sliding mode controller (DSPRSMC) is synthesized, which is independent of time delays. A DSPRSMC solves a complex interconnection problem with an unknown time-varying delay term and drives the system’s trajectories onto a switching surface from the initial time instance. Particularly, by applying the well-known Barbalat’s lemma, the chattering phenomenon in control input is alleviated. Moreover, a sufficient condition is established by using an appropriate Lyapunov theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) method such that a sliding mode dynamics is asymptotically stable from the beginning time. Finally, a developed method is validated by numerical example with computer simulations.

Abstract
In this work, a new robust controller is developed for robot manipulator based on an integrating between a novel self-tuning fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID)-nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control (STF-PID-NFTSM) and a time delay estimation (TDE). A sliding surface based on the PID-NFTSM is designed for robot manipulators to get multiple excited features such as faster transient response with finite time convergence, lower error at steady-state and chattering elimination. However, the system characteristics are hugely affected by the selection of the PID gains of the controller. In addition, the design of the controller requires an exact dynamics model of the robot manipulators. In order to obtain effective gains for the PID sliding surface, a fuzzy logic system is employed and in order to get an estimation of the unknown dynamics model, a TDE algorithm is developed. The innovative features of the proposed approach, i.e., STF-PID-NFTSM, is verified when comparing with other up-to-date advanced control techniques on a PUMA560 robot.

Abstract
This study proposes an adaptive sliding mode disturbance rejection control with prescribed performance for robotic manipulators. A transformation with respect to tracking error using certain performance functions is used to ensure the transient and steady-state performances of the trajectory tracking control for robotic manipulators. Using the transformed error, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode surface is proposed. A continuous terminal sliding mode control (SMC) is presented to stabilize the system. To compensate for the uncertainty and external disturbance, a novel sliding mode disturbance observer is proposed. Considering the unknown boundary of the derivative of a lumped disturbance, an adaptive law based on the idea of equivalent control is designed. Combining the adaptive law, continuous nonsingular terminal SMC, and sliding mode disturbance observer, the adaptive sliding mode disturbance rejection control with prescribed performance is developed. Simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract
This paper concentrates on the study of finite time control for nonlinear switched systems. Based on a newly introduced adding a barrier integrator technique, a novel adaptive fuzzy control strategy is proposed for a class of nonlinear switched systems. Compared with the existing adaptive control methods, the proposed method has several distinguishing features. Finite time control: the proposed adaptive control method can solve the exact finite time control problem for the stabilization and some types of tracking issues. Namely, the errors will converge to zero in finite time. For a general tracking problem, the practical finite time control can be achieved. More general systems: the proposed method is suitable for high order nonlinear switched systems with arbitrary switching and unknown control gains. Some strict assumptions on the system dynamics are relaxed. Full state constraints: the proposed method can be utilized to deal with the full state constraints problem. Simple controller structure: the "explosion of the complexity" in the backstepping design is avoided. Singularity free design: the singularity problem is carefully handled during the whole design procedure. Examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract
In this paper, a new control methodology is developed to enhance the tracking performance of fully actuated surface vessels based on an integrating between an adaptive integral sliding mode control (AISMC) and a disturbance observer (DO). First, an integral sliding mode control (ISMC), in which the backstepping control technique is used as the nominal controller, is designed for the system. The major features, i.e., benefits and drawbacks, of the ISMC are discussed thoroughly. Then, to enhance the tracking performance of the system, an adaptive technique and a new disturbance observer based on sliding mode technique are developed and integrated into the ISMC. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved based on Lyapunov criteria. Computer simulation is performed to illustrate the tracking performance of the proposed controller and compare with the existing controllers for the tracking control of a surface vessel. The simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed strategy.

Abstract
This paper presents an adaptive chattering-free sliding mode controller for trajectory tracking of robotic manipulators in the presence of external disturbances and inertia uncertainties. To achieve fast convergence and desirable tracking precision, a second-order fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode (SOFNTSM) controller is designed to guarantee system performance and robust stability. Chattering is eliminated using continuous control law due to high-frequency switching terms contained in the first derivative of actual control signals. Meanwhile, uncertainties are compensated by introducing the adaptive technique, whose prior knowledge about upper bound is not required. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
