A novel fixed-time prescribed performance sliding mode control for uncertain wheeled mobile robots


Advances in robotic control are accelerating rapidly, and a new breakthrough in fixed-time prescribed performance sliding mode control (PPSMC) is transforming how wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) handle uncertainty. 

Researchers have introduced an innovative PPSMC framework that guarantees accurate trajectory tracking, robust disturbance rejection, and preset performance bounds, all within a fixed convergence time—regardless of initial conditions. This marks a significant upgrade over traditional sliding mode controllers, which often struggle with chattering, slow convergence, and unpredictable performance in uncertain environments.

The proposed method enhances the robot’s stability by imposing strict constraints on tracking errors, ensuring real-time reliability in dynamic and cluttered settings. Whether navigating rough surfaces, avoiding obstacles, or performing precision tasks, WMRs equipped with this controller maintain smooth, stable, and high-precision motion.

This development opens the door to smarter service robots, next-generation autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation systems where speed, performance, and reliability are essential. As robotics continues to evolve, such control innovations will play a critical role in pushing the boundaries of what mobile robots can achieve.
