Abstract

This paper proposes a novel trajectory tracking controller based on RBF neural network and fractional-order sliding mode control (FO-SMC). First, the prescribed performance control (PPC) is introduced into the system to make the tracking error converge to the predefined set. Then, the fractional-order calculus is introduced into SMC to alleviate the chattering of the system. Considering that RBF neural network can compensate for the uncertainty of the UAV motion model, RBF is introduced into the design of the controller. Besides, the Lyapunov theorem proves the stability of the system, and all signals in the closed-loop system are stable. Finally, a case study is carried out through simulation.
