“…The initial conditions of the fixed-time disturbance observer are set as ve = v e (0) and δ = [0, 0, 0] T . Moreover, the control parameters of the compared nominal fixed-time PD-like controller(17) are selected as k 1 = 0.4, k 2 = 0.8, h 1 = 0.1, h 2 = 0.2, α 1 = 1/3, α 2 = 1/2, β 1 = 5/3, and β 2 = 5/4.The control parameters of the compared conventional sliding mode controller(39) are selected as μ = 2, k = 1, η = 0.1, and ε = 0.01.The simulation results for performance comparisons are presented in Figs.4-7. Figures4 and 5show the time histories of the position and velocity tracking, respectively.…”
