Robust control of robot manipulators

In this paper, we derive a simple robust nonlinear control scheme for n-link robot manipulators subject to parameter uncertainty. By using the theory of variable structure system(VSS) and taking advantage of the important property of the robot dynamics, the stability of the derived control scheme is proved. This scheme utilizes the desired trajectory outputs, which can be calculated a priori, instead of the actual joint outputs in the nonlinear compensation controller. So the amount of on-line calculations is largely reduced, and as a result, this scheme can be implemented much more efficiently.
