In this paper, a novel adaptive funnel fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode control for robotic manipulators with dynamic uncertainties is proposed. A modified funnel variable is utilized to transform the tracking error fall within funnel boundary, which improves the transient and steady-state tracking performance of robotic manipulators. Based on the transformed error, a novel funnel fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode surface is developed and a sliding mode control law is designed to stabilize the closed-loop system and achieve high tracking precision. An adaptive update law combined with the sliding mode surface is designed to deal with uncertainties and external disturbances where their upper bounds are unknown in practical cases. The stability and finite time convergence of the closed-loop system are proved by Lyapunov stability theorem. Simulation results and discussions are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and high-precision tracking control for robotic manipulators.
