Abstract
This article proposes a model-free kinematic control method with predefined-time convergence for robotic manipulators with unknown models. The predefined-time convergence property guarantees that the regulation task can be finished by robotic manipulators in a preset time, in spite of the initial state of manipulators. This feature will facilitate the scheduling of a series of tasks in industrial applications. To this end, a varying-parameter predefined-time convergent zeroing neural dynamics (ZND) model is first proposed and employed to solve the regulation problem. As well as the primary task, a conventional ZND model is utilized to achieve the avoidance of obstacle. The stability of the proposed controller is analyzed based on the Lyapunov stability theory. For the sake of dealing with the unknown kinematic model of robotic manipulators, gradient neural dynamics (GND) models are exploited to adapt the Jacobian matrices just relying on the control signal and sensory output, which enables us to control robotic manipulators in a model-free manner. Finally, the efficacy and merits of the proposed control method are verified by simulations and experiments, including a comparison with the existing method.
