Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

To address the problems of insufficient trajectory tracking accuracy, pronounced jitter over undulating terrain, and limited disturbance rejection in orchard mobile robots, this paper proposes a trajectory tracking control strategy based on a double-loop adaptive sliding mode. Firstly, a kinematic model of the orchard robot is constructed and a time-varying integral terminal sliding surface is designed to achieve global fast finite-time convergence. Secondly, a sinusoidal saturation switching function with a variable boundary is employed to suppress the high-frequency chattering inherent in sliding mode control. Thirdly, an improved double-power reaching law (Improved DPRL) is introduced to enhance disturbance rejection in the inner loop while ensuring continuity of the outer-loop output. Finally, Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove the asymptotic stability of the double-loop system. The experimental results show that attitude angle error settles within 0.01 rad after 0.144 s, while the position errors in both the x-axis and y-axis directions settle within 0.01 m after 0.966 s and 0.753 s, respectively. Regarding position error convergence, the Integral of Absolute Error (IAE)/Integral of Squared Error (ISE)/Integral of Time-Weighted Absolute Error (ITAE) are 0.7629 m, 0.7698 m, and 0.2754 m, respectively; for the attitude angle error, the IAE/ISE/ITAE are 0.0484 rad, 0.0229 rad, and 0.1545 rad, respectively. These results indicate faster convergence of both position and attitude errors, smoother control inputs, and markedly reduced chattering. Overall, the findings satisfy the real-time and accuracy requirements of fast trajectory tracking for orchard mobile robots.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
