Abstract
This paper deals with the design of robust and model-free controller for an n-link robot manipulator in discrete-time domain. At the first step, a robust and model-based discrete-time sliding mode controller (DSMC) is developed. Afterwards, a discrete-time neuro-fuzzy sliding mode controller (DNFSMC) is proposed to remove the drawbacks of DSMC. In this technique, a neural network (NN) parallel with fuzzy blocks is utilized to approximate the equivalent and switching terms of DSMC. NN weights are updated adaptively with back-propagation algorithm by using the fuzzy system output. Simulation results are illustrated to compare performances of DSMC and DNFSMC in the control of a three-link SCARA robot. Moreover, the sampling time effects on DNFSMC are discussed.
