When considering the accuracy of tracking control, physical interaction such as structural uncertainties and external dynamics is the main challenge in actual engineering scenarios, especially for the complex robot system. In this article, a neural network‐based sliding mode tracking control scheme (SMCR) is presented for the developed four wheel‐legged robot (BIT‐NAZA) under the uncertain interaction. First, a non‐singular fast terminal function based on the kinematic model is proposed for path tracking, which improves the motion quality during the approach movement and the sliding mode movement. At the same time, it can reduce the influence of uncertain disturbances on the premise of ensuring the path tracking control accuracy via neural networks. Finally, some demonstrations using the autonomous platform of the BIT‐NAZA robot are employed to evaluate the robustness and effectiveness of the hybrid algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
