In order to address the fragility issues associated with the current prescribed performance control (PPC) strategy and ensure both transient and steady-state performance of the tracking error, a non-fragility prescribed performance control scheme is proposed. A non-fragile prescribed performance control method for robotic systems with model uncertainties and unknown disturbances is developed. This method not only addresses the inherent vulnerability defects of the existing prescribed performance control but also effectively reduces the computational complexity of the controller. Firstly, addressing the fragility issues of existing PPC, a new non-fragile prescribed performance control strategy is proposed. To address the fragile issue with the current PPC, the shift function is employed to handle the tracking error. Based on the non-fragile PPC mentioned above, a new prescribed performance controller is designed without the requirement for approximation or estimation. This effectively reduces the complexity of controller design. At last, the feasibility of achieving non-fragile prescribed performance is verified through stability analysis, and the superiority of the designed controller is confirmed through simulation comparisons. The results show that the designed controller effectively resolves the control singularity issue arising from the inherent limitations of the PPC.
