A novel global nonsingular terminal sliding manifold is designed to steer the system trajectory to reach the switching surface at the beginning, thereby removing the reaching stage and achieving strong robustness throughout the entire response. Moreover, the proposed sliding manifold can ensure the finite time convergence of the trajectory error to the origin. Then, an adaptive STA, which does not require the boundary information of the perturbations, is devised not only to attenuate the chattering effect without degrading the tracking precision, but also to guarantee the finite time stability of the system. Finally, the superiority of the adopted GNTSMC is validated by comparative studies.
