Experimental Results of Trajectory Tracking Control of Robot Manipulator using Time Varying Sliding Mode Controller

The author et al. proposed the design method of the sliding mode controller for the trajectory tracking control problem of nonlinear systems. This controller consists of the conventional sliding mode control and the pole placement controller for the the linear time varying approximate model of the nonlinear system around the desired trajectory. In this paper, this controller is applied to the trajectory tracking control of the actual 2-link robot manipulator, and, experimental results are shown.
