This paper investigates a novel adaptive fuzzy fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller (AFFO-NTSMC) for second-order nonlinear dynamic systems. The technique of fractional calculus and nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC) are combined to establish fractional-order NTSMC (FO-NTSMC), in which a new fractional-order (FO) nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) surface is proposed. Then, a corresponding controller is designed to provide robustness, high performance control, finite time convergence in the presence of uncertainties and external disturbances. Furthermore, a fuzzy system with online adaptive learning algorithm is derived to eliminate the chattering phenomenon in conventional sliding mode control (SMC). The stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously proven. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

For the 4-DOF (degrees of freedom) trajectory tracking control problem of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances, a novel output feedback fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (FO-NTSMC) technique is introduced in light of the equivalent output injection sliding mode observer (SMO) and TSMC principle and fractional calculus technology. The equivalent output injection SMO is applied to reconstruct the full states in finite time. Meanwhile, the FO-NTSMC algorithm, based on a new proposed fractional-order switching manifold, is designed to stabilize the tracking error to equilibrium points in finite time. The corresponding stability analysis of the closed-loop system is presented using the fractional-order version of the Lyapunov stability theory. Comparative numerical simulation results are presented and analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, it is noteworthy that the proposed output feedback FO-NTSMC technique can be used to control a broad range of nonlinear second-order dynamical systems in finite time.
