Abstract

A decentralized variable structure control algorithm is developed for robotic manipulators to cause sliding modes to exist. New approaches are used to reach the sliding mode and to reduce non-ideal characteristics while in the sliding mode. Both position control and trajectory following are examined through two-link and three-link digital simulations.
