Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents an improved composite fuzzy learning control for uncertain electrically-driven robot manipulators with input delay and the external disturbances. In the framework of the backstepping algorithm, fuzzy systems are employed to approximate the unknown terms where the accuracy of fuzzy learning is also considered by defining prediction errors. With the aid of integral technique and the dynamic surface control, a variable is engendered for the system in such a way that the input-delayed robotic system is converted to the non-delayed robotic system. Besides, the command-filtered control is used to cope with the complexity explosion of the backstepping-based design. In order to improve the robust behavior of the control system, the proposed control scheme is equipped with disturbance observers (DOBs). Different from the previous works, the information of the input-delayed, the compensated error surfaces (obtained from the command-filtered approach), the prediction errors and the disturbance estimations (derived from DOBs) are unified to construct the proposed control framework. The stability of the overall system is verified by the Lyapunov theorem. The efficiency of the proposed concept is illustrated using various simulations for an electrically-driven robot manipulator in the presence of uncertainties.
