Abstract: A robotic manipulator is a highly non-linear system with uncertainties. Sliding mode control provides a method for reliable tracking for such uncertain non-linear systems. In this work, we present an algorithm based on higher order sliding mode concept for tracking and finite time error convergence for articulated robotic manipulators.
