Abstract

Industrial telerobotics system (ITS) enables robots to implement remote, dangerous, and complicated manufacturing tasks by incorporating human intelligence. Higher requirements are put forward for the working speed and performance of ITS. However, for ITS, only asymptotic convergence can be realized by existing control strategies, which have poor robust performance. In view of these theoretical and practical problems, this article addresses fixed-time synchronization control issue for a class of ITS with unknown parametric/nonparametric uncertainties and external disturbances. Satisfactory force and position performance can be achieved with the designed novel control algorithms. Firstly, based on the impedance control frame, two reference models are constructed for the master and slave robots by considering force and position signals transmission between master and slave, respectively. Then, a new adaptive sliding mode disturbance observer (ASMDO) is developed to realize the estimation of external disturbances and system uncertainties in higher speed and higher precision under relaxed assumption. Moreover, a novel continuous fixed-time control (CFTC) scheme is developed to guarantee good position and force synchronization performances, simultaneously. Finally, the effectiveness of the suggested control method is validated with simulations and experimental results.
