Design Adaptive Fuzzy Inference Sliding Mode Algorithm: Applied to Robot Arm

The developed control methodology can be used to build more efficient intelligent and precision mechatronic systems. Three degrees of freedom robot arm is controlled by adaptive sliding mode fuzzy algorithm fuzzy sliding mode controller (SMFAFSMC). This plant has 3 revolute joints allowing the corresponding links to move horizontally. Control of robotic manipulator is very important in field of robotic, because robotic manipulators are Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO), nonlinear and most of dynamic parameters are uncertainty. Design strong mathematical tools used in new control methodologies to design adaptive nonlinear robust controller with acceptable performance in this controller is the main challenge. Sliding mode methodology is a nonlinear robust controller which can be used in uncertainty nonlinear systems, but pure sliding mode controller has chattering phenomenon and nonlinear equivalent part in uncertain system therefore the first step is focused on eliminate the chattering and in second step controller is improved with regard to uncertainties. Sliding function is one of the most important challenging in artificial sliding mode algorithm which this problem in order to solved by on-line tuning method. This paper focuses on adjusting the sliding surface slope in fuzzy sliding mode controller by sliding mode fuzzy algorithm.
