Jm. Yang et al., ADAPTIVE-CONTROL FOR ROBOT MANIPULATORS WITH FLEXIBLE JOINTS, JSME international journal. Series C, dynamics, control, robotics, design and manufacturing, 38(2), 1995, pp. 285-291
This paper presents an adaptive control scheme for robot manipulators
with flexible joints. Our control scheme theoretically guarantees that
the tracking error converges to zero and that all the signals in the
system remain bounded. We also analyze the robustness of the adaptive
controller. To show the capability of the proposed controller, an exam
ple of a one-link robot manipulator with one revolute flexible joint i
s considered. The experimental results are given to demonstrate the ef
fectiveness of this method.
