Abstract: This paper aims to design an improved adaptive nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller for a fully actuated planar biped robot with five degrees of freedom in the single support (SSP) and double support (DSP) phases in the presence of external perturbation and uncertainties. A new sliding surface was proposed to avoid singularities and the chattering phenomenon. The proposed controller guarantees fast convergence of error signals in finite time. Unlike similar studies, the presented method considers a whole cycle of one step of walking, including SSP, double impact, and DSP phases. Also, the proposed approach does not require a predefined upper limit to estimate uncertainty using an adaptive law. Notably, dynamic walking was preferred over static walking to achieve more similarity to human walking. The designed trajectories were determined according to the position of the waist and swinging legs ankle, which could then be converted into the position of joints using inverse kinematics equations. The simulation results were used to approve the proposed controller's fast and robust tracking performance in the presence of external disturbances, mass, and inertia uncertainties without predefined knowledge of their upper bounds.
