description As operational scenarios become more complex and task demands intensify, the requirements for the intelligence and automation of manipulators in industry are increasing. This work investigates the challenge of posture tracking control for hydraulic flexible manipulators by proposing a discrete-time integral terminal sliding mode predictive control (DITSMPC) method. First, the proposed method develops a second-order dynamic model of the manipulator using the Lagrangian dynamic strategy. Second, a discrete-time sliding mode control (SMC) law based on an adaptive switching term is designed to achieve high-precision tracking control of the system. Finally, to weaken the influence of SMC buffeting on the manipulator system, the predictive time domain function is integrated into the proposed SMC law, and the delay estimation of the unknown term in the manipulator system is carried out. The DITSMPC scheme is derived and its convergence is proven. Simulation experiments comparing the DITSMPC scheme with the classical discrete-time SMC method demonstrate that the proposed scheme results in smooth torque changes in each joint of the manipulator, with the integral of torque variations being <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>5.22</mn><mo>×</mo><msup><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow><mn>3</mn></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. The trajectory tracking errors for each joint remain within ±0.0025 rad, all of which are smaller than those of the classical scheme.
