Abstract
This pager examines the problem of link position tracking control of robot manipulators with bounded torque inputs. An adaptive, full-state feedback c ontroller and an exact model knowledge, output feedback controller are desi gned to produce semi-global asymptotic link position tracking errors. Simul ation results are provided to validate the theoretical concepts, and a comp arative analysis demonstrates the benefits of the proposed controllers.
