Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Control with High-Order Integral Differentiator for Trajectory Tracking of 4WD Nonholonomic Mobile Robots
摘要
This paper proposes a robust trajectory tracking control strategy for four-wheel-drive (4WD) nonholonomic mobile robots based on a nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller (NTSMC) integrated with a high-order integral-chain differentiator (HOICD). The approach effectively handles nonlinearities, disturbances, and parameter uncertainties without requiring full-state measurements. The HOICD estimates unmeasured velocities while suppressing high-frequency noise. Lyapunov analysis ensures finite-time convergence of tracking errors. Simulation results verify that the proposed method achieves higher tracking accuracy and robustness than PID and backstepping SMC under time-varying disturbances and model uncertainties.
