Abstract
The tracking control problem is considered for robots having elastic j oints. The kinematic and dynamic parameters of the robots are not assu med to be known but they are assumed to belong to a known bounded comp act set. Moreover, unknown frictional forces are supposed to be presen t. A robust tracking controller is proposed capable of guaranteeing tr acking with arbitrary accuracy of any given reference trajectory.
