Computed torque method has been used for precise trajectory control of the robotic system that involves nonlinear dynamics. It is hard to know exact values of robot system parameters, and the robot arm receives umpredictable interference from the working environment. These disturbances, especially in a direct drive robot, are directly transmitted to actuating motor without reduction. Modelling error and distrubance can cause significant errors in a trajectory tracking problem. In this paper, we propose a new controller that $H_{\infty}$controller is conbined to robot system linearized by computed torque. Simula- tions are made for comparing the performance of the proposed controller with that of a nonlinear $H_{\infty}$ controller proposed by Chen and also computed torque method.hod.

An iterative learning control scheme is incorporated to the computed torque method as a means to enhance the accuracy and the flexibility. A learning rule is constructed by utilizing a gradient descent algorithm and data compressing techniques are illustrated. Computer simulation results show a good performance of the scheme under a relatively high speed and a heavy payload condition.

This paper presents a simplified dynamics model, dynamics simulations, and computed torque control experiments of the Delta high-speed parallel robot. Using the typical Newton-Euler method, a simplified but accurate dynamics model with practical assumptions is derived. Accuracy and fast calculations of the dynamics are essential in the computed torque control for high-speed applications. It was found that the simplified dynamics equation is in very god agreement with the ADAMS model, and the calculation time of the inverse kinematics and inverse dynamics is about 0.04 msec. From the dynamics simulations, the cycle trajectory along the y-axis requires less peak motor torque and a lower angular velocity and less power than that along the x-axis. The computed torque control scheme can reduce the position error by half as compared to a PD control scheme. Finally, the developed Delta parallel robot prototype, half the size of the ABB Flexpicker robot, can achieve a cycle time of 0.43 sec with a 1.0kg payload.

Obstacle avoidance of underactuated robot manipulators using switching computed torque method (SCTM) is presented. One fundamental feature of this novel method is to use partly stable controllers (PSCs) in order to fulfill the ultimate control objective. Here, we use genetic algorithms (GAs) to acquire the optimum switching sequence of the control actions for a given time frame with the available set of elemental controllers, depending on which links/variables are controlled. The effectiveness of the concept is illustrated by taking a three-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator and showing enhanced performance of the proposed control methodology.

This paper proposes a hybrid control method of using impedance control and the computed-torque control for biped robot locomotion. Computed torque control is used for supporting (constrained) leg. For the free leg, the impedance control is used, where different values of impedance parameters are used depending on the gait phase of the biped robot. To reduce the magnitude of an impact and guarantee a stable footing when a foot contacts with the ground, this paper proposes to increase the damping of the leg drastically and to modify the reference trajectory of the leg. Computer simulations with a 3 -dof environment model for which a combination of a nonlinear and a linear compliant models is used, show that the proposed controller is superior to the computed-torque controllers in reducing impacts and stabilizing the footing.

One of control methods for underactuated manipulators is known as a switching control which selects a partially-stable controller using a prespecified switching rule. A switching computed torque control with a fuzzy energy region method was proposed. In this approach, some partly stable controllers are designed by the computed torque method, and a switching rule is based on fuzzy energy regions. Design parameters related to boundary curves of fuzzy energy regions are optimized offline by a genetic algorithm (GA). In this paper, we discuss on parameters obtained by GA. The effectiveness of the switching fuzzy energy method is demonstrated with some simulations.

For a robot to perfom more versatile tasks, it is invitable for the robot's end-effector to come into contact with its environment. In thos case, to achieve better performance, it is necessary to properly control the contact force between the robot and the environment. In thos work, hybrid control theory is studied and is verified through experiment using a 3 DOF robot. In the experiment, two position/force controllers are used. Fist, proportional-integral-derivative controller is used as the controller for both position and force. Second, computed-torque method is used as the position controller, and proportional-integral-derivative controller is used as the force controller. For a proper modeling used in computed-torque method, the friction torque is measured by experiment, and compensation method is studied. The hybrid control method used in this experiment effectively control the contact force between the end-effector and the environment for various types of jobs.

A hybrid control method based on using the relative motion between a manipulator and a workpiece is described for a two-dimensional manipulator, in which it is assumed that there are no collisions between the robot manipulator and the workpiece, and that we use a computed force law which is similar to the computed torque law in the trajectory tracking problem of a robot manipulator. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid control emthod is illustratec by some simulations.

로봇 매니퓰레이터는 널리 사용되고 있으며,대개는 비교적 간단한 제너시스템을 갖추고 있다. 이러한 제이시스템은 경우에 따라 적절한 것으로 판명되었으나, 매니퓰레이터의 성능에 대한 요구 가 증대됨에 따라 보다 개선된 형태의 제어기법에 대한 필요성이 대두되었다. 매니퓰레이터의 동적모델은 복잡한 비선형 미분방정식으로 표현되기 때문에 모델파라메타에 불확실성이 흔히 존재 하고, 특히 Payload가 빈번히 변화하는 작업을 메니퓰레이터가 담당하는 경우, (불확실한) 동적모 델을 기반으로 하는 제어방식(Computed Torque Method)으로는 정밀한 성능을 보장받기가 매우 어렵다. 근자에 로봇 모델이 미지의 상수 파라메타에 관하여 선형적으로표현되는 점에 착안하여 파라메타 추정기구를 Computed Torque Method 에 도입하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다.
