Abstract

This paper introduces a method for controlling the trajectory of a manipulator robot with uncertainty, using reinforcement learning. The control is designed to work even when there are limitations on the inputs to the system. Reinforcement learning and neural networks are employed alongside standard robust control techniques to enhance the fixed-time convergence of the system state. A novel algorithm is proposed to develop a reinforcement learning-based approach. This approach utilizes radial basis function neural networks and nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control to ensure error convergence within a predetermined time. This paper presents the task of monitoring the intended path followed by robotic arms in the presence of uncertain and unfamiliar disruptions. The experimental results validate that the suggested approach substantially improves both the stability and accuracy of trajectory tracking, making it more feasible for real-world applications in robotic systems.
