Abstract
An investigation on the hybrid force control of robot arms by learning is presented. A well-known force control scheme based on feedback lin earization is used to build up an algorithm which improves, trial by t rial, force and position tracking over a finite time interval. Differe ntly from other published teaming control schemes, the proposed algori thm does not rely on high gain feedback. Robustness and convergence in spite of sufficiently small system parameter uncertainties and distur bances is proven by means of the contraction mapping principle.
