P. Rocco, ON STABILITY AND CONTROL OF ELASTIC-JOINT ROBOTIC MANIPULATORS DURINGCONSTRAINED-MOTION TASKS, IEEE transactions on robotics and automation, 13(3), 1997, pp. 467-469
In the above paper,(1) a singularly perturbed model of an elastic-join
t robotic manipulator constrained by a rigid environment has been pres
ented. The purpose of this correspondence is to show that the expressi
on of the boundary layer subsystem is incorrect. The correct expressio
n is given and it is shown that, for a control system designed for rig
id robots, the uniform exponential stability of the boundary layer sys
tem, required for the application of Tikhonov's theorem, can still be
proven.
