Robust Control of Golf Swing Robot Using Backstepping Based on Fuzzy Sliding-Mode and Super-Twisting Backstepping Sliding-Mode Algorithms
Abstract
This paper focuses on trajectory tracking, robustness and stabilization of a golf swing robot which has been recently developed to simulate the ultra-high-speed swing motions of a golfer. The proposed control strategies are based on the Lyapunov stability theory and include Backstepping and Sliding-Mode Control based techniques. To attenuate the chattering phenomena caused by a discontinuous switching function and improve the dynamic response of the manipulator, a fuzzy system is used in this research; a Backstepping Sliding-Mode Controller (BSMC), a Backstepping Fuzzy Sliding-Mode Controller (BFSMC) and a Super-twisting Backstepping Sliding-Mode Controller (STBSMC) are used to evaluate the proposed hybrid controller’s BFSMC performance. The Lyapunov stability theory is used to guarantee the stability of the proposed closed-loop robot technique. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy based on the fuzzy logic mechanism under different disturbances and uncertainties.
