Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Aiming at the tracking control for three-arm space continuum robot in space active debris removal manipulation, an adaptive sliding mode control algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed. Through BP network, a data-driven dynamic model is developed as the predictive model to guide the reinforcement learning to adjust the sliding mode controller's parameters online, and finally realize a real-time tracking control. Simulation results show that the proposed data-driven predictive model can accurately predict the robot's dynamic characteristics with the relative error within ±1% to random trajectories. Compared with the fixed-parameter sliding mode controller, the proposed adaptive controller …
