Abstract: This paper deals with the control problem of robotic manipulators, which are always subject to nonlinear uncertainties. In particular, a dynamic system with fast actuators is exposed to many disrupting risks, generally induced by the presence of parametric uncertainties and unmoderated dynamics. So the dynamic model becomes highly nonlinear, which requires the use of a robust stabilising control. In this context, we propose a solution based on the third order sliding mode control (SMC) approach, in order to ensure a performant trajectory tracking motion control for a medical task. The proposed controller is expected to remove the standard sliding mode restrictions, to provide for a higher accuracy and robustness in realisation with respect to the current existence of imperfections. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed third order SMC design with respect to disturbances, mainly affecting control systems.
