Abstract

In this paper, a double-loop control scheme, combining general type-2 fuzzy logic controller (GT2FLC) and non-singular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC), is proposed to stabilize the non-holonomic wheeled mobile robot. In the double-loop tracking controller, the outer ring adopts the exponential approach law used to track the position state quickly and the inner ring adopts the double-power approaching law, which makes the attitude convergence faster than the position to ensure the stability of the closed-loop system and deal with the random disturbances. NTSMC is designed for both loops to achieve fast convergence of the system in a finite time. The GT2FLC is used to adjust the gain of the approaching law, so as to enhance the adaptability to random disturbances and weaken the chattering of sliding mode input. The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve small error and fast tracking of position and attitude under random disturbance, and its performance is better than other controllers.
