Decentralized adaptive control of robot manipulators

摘要

A decentralized adaptive control scheme is presented for multilink robot arms. The structure of dynamic and force interactions in the robot arm allows local high gain feedback control to stabilize the overall system, and cause the arm to track reference trajectories to any accuracy desired. The adaptive law is locally stable with an attractive set that is adjustable a-priori using minimal knowledge of robot parameters. Robot manipulators control using decentralized approach is highly desirable in that it facilitates real-time implementation.
