The invention provides an adaptive predetermined
time trajectory tracking control method for a rigid-flexible
coupling tendon-driven mechanical arm. The adaptive predetermined
time trajectory tracking control method comprises the following steps: establishing a dynamic model of the rigid-flexible
coupling tendon-driven mechanical arm which comprehensively considers the flexible deformation of an arm lever structure and the elastic deformation of a
rope; designing a
nonsingular terminal sliding mode surface according to the trajectory
tracking error, and estimating
system lumped interference by adopting an RBF neural network; and designing a self-adaptive predetermined time
nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller, adjusting parameters through a self-adaptive law to suppress and control input buffeting, and controlling a joint trajectory
tracking error to converge within a predetermined
time range. The vibration of the
tail end of the mechanical arm is restrained, and meanwhile it is ensured that the joint trajectory
tracking error converges within the preset
time range; the influence of initial conditions is avoided; according to the method,
system uncertainty and external disturbance are estimated through the RBF neural network, and control robustness is improved; a self-adaptive parameter adjusting mechanism is introduced, the control input buffeting problem is effectively solved, and the
tail end operation precision of the mechanical arm is improved.
