Robust Tracking for Electromagnetic-Actuated Microrobot Via Sliding Mode Control

Microrobots can work in small, enclosed spaces and complete complex tasks. It has potential applications in the field of biomedical and life sciences. This paper focuses on investigating robust dynamic tracking for electromagnetic-actuated microrobot via sliding mode control. First, we generalize the planar motion to the case of spatial trajectory tracking and then establish the three-dimensional tracking error model of microrobot. Then, we deploy a novel sliding control strategy and ensure the stability of sliding mode dynamics, once the robotic state reaches the sliding surface and sustains there in the sequel. Finally, the numerical simulation is conducted, compared to the traditional proportion-integration-differentiation control strategy, to verify the effectiveness and advantages of our proposed control scheme.
