Abstract
This paper investigates the tracking and synchronization control of multi-motor systems and proposes a novel predefined-time fractional-order sliding mode control strategy. First, a novel simplified predefined-time stability condition is introduced, which alleviates the problem of parameter complexity in existing predefined-time stability theories and broadens their applicability. The validity of this condition is rigorously established through a Lyapunov-based analysis. Then, a fractional-order sliding mode observer is designed based on this stability condition. By integrating fractional-order calculus, the proposed observer increases flexibility and enhances the overall control performance compared to conventional observers. Furthermore, a fractional-order controller is developed by constructing a fractional-order sliding surface and a corresponding switching control law. The stability of the controller is further guaranteed by employing the Lyapunov function. Finally, simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. These results highlight the advantages of the proposed controller, including rapid disturbance rejection, reduced chattering, and robust performance against unknown lumped disturbances.
