Abstract

For low cost and high torque output, artificial muscle ac tuators have been used for driving manipulator, but such type actuators have complex non-linearity. To control non linear actuators with some uncertainties, we present a new sliding mode controller which achieve asymptotic tracking of a desired trajectory and guarantee the globle stablity in the closed-loop system. Asymptotic stability of the closed loop tracking errorsystem is proven by means of the Lya punov synthesis. simulations on the tracking control of a 2-link planar robot arm are carried out to verify the effec tiveness of the proposed method.
