This thesis deals with designing a control law for trajectory tracking. The target is to move a microrobot in a blood vessel accurately. The microrobot is made of a ferromagnetic material and is propelled by a magnetic gradient coil. The controller combines time delay control (TDC) and terminal sliding mode (TSM) control. TDC allows deriving a control law without prior knowledge of the plant. As the system is a nonlinear function which also includes uncertainties and unexpected disturbance, TDC gives a benefit of less effort needed compared to model-based controller. Meanwhile, TSM term adds accuracy which it compensates TDC estimation error and also adds robustness against parameter variation and disturbance. In addition, anti-windup scheme acts as a support by eliminating the accumulated error due to integral term by TDC and TSM. So, the proposed controller can avoid actuator saturation problem caused by windup phenomenon. Simulations are conducted by copying a realistic situation. Accuracy and robustness evaluations are done in stages to see how each terms in a control law give an improvement and to see how an overall controller performs. ⓒ 2014 DGIST
