Robust tracking of rigid-link flexible-joint electrically-driven robots

摘要

The authors present a simple approach for designing tracking controllers for rigid-link flexible-joint robot manipulators. The control approach is intuitively simple since it is based on concepts which are familiar to most control engineers. To illustrate the approach, the authors develop a robust tracking controller that achieves global uniform ultimate boundedness, stability of the link tracking error in spite of bounded disturbances, and model uncertainty. They then discuss some extensions for rigid-link electrically driven and for rigid-link flexible-joint electrically driven robot manipulators.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
