In this paper, adaptive algorithms on the sliding model control for robust tracking control of robust manipulators are presented. The presented algorithms use adaption laws for tuning both the sliding mode gain and the thickness of the boundary layer to reject a disconitnuous control input, and to improve the tracking performance. It is shown that the robustness of the developed adaptive algorithms are guaranteed by the sliding mode control law and that the algorithms are globally convergent in the presence of disturbances and modeling uncertainties. Computer simulations are performed for a two-link manipulator, and the results show good properties of the proposed adaptive algorithms under large mainpulator parameter uncertainties and disturbances.

In this paper, a robust variable structure tracking controller is designed for the mixed tracking control of highly nonlinear rigid robot manipulators for the first time. The mixed control problem under consideration is extended from the basic tracking problem, with the different initial condition of both the planned trajectory and link of robots. This control problem in robotics is not addressed to until now. The tracking accuracy to the sliding trajectory after reaching is analyzed. The stability of the closed loop system is investigated in detail in Theorem 2. The results of Theorem 2 provide the stable condition for control gains. Combing the results of Theorem 1 and Theorem 2 gives rise to possibility of designing the improved variable structure tracking controller to guarantee the tracking error from the determined sliding trajectory within the prescribed accuracy after reaching. The usefulness of the algorithm has been demonstrated through simulation studies on the mixed tracking control of a two.link robot under parameter uncertainties and payload variations.

This paper presents a new approach to control the position of robot arm in workspace a robot manipulator under unknown system parameters and bounded disturbance inputs. To control the motion of the manipulator, an inverse dynamics control scheme was applied. Since parameters of the robot arm such as mass and inertia are not perfectly known, the difference between the actual and estimated parameters was considered as a external disturbance force. To identify the known parameters, an improved robust control algorithm is directly derived from the Lyapunov's Second Method. A robust control algorithm is devised to counteract the bounded disturbance inputs such as contact forces and disturbing forces coming from the difference between the actual and the estimated system parameters. Numerical examples are shown using SCARA arm with four joints.

This paper presents a robust control method via the intelligent adaptive backstepping design technique for stable walking of nine-link biped robots with unknown model uncertainties and external disturbances. In our control structure, the self recurrent wavelet neural network(SRWNN) which has the information storage ability is used to observe the uncertainties of the biped robots. The adaptation laws for all weights of the SRWNN are induced from the Lyapunov stability theorem, which are used for on-line controlling biped robots. Also, we prove that all signals in the closed-loop adaptive system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Through computer simulations of a nine-link biped robot with model uncertainties and external disturbances, we illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.

This paper proposed trajectory tracking control of mobile robot. Trajectory tracking control scheme are real coding genetic-algorithm and back-propergation algorithm. Control scheme ability experience proposed simulation. Stable tracking control problem of mobile robots have been studied in recent years. These studios have guaranteed stability of controller, but the performance of transient state has not been guaranteed. In some situations, constant gain controller shows overshoots and oscillations. So we introduce better control scheme using Real coding Genetic Algorithm(RCGA) and neural network. Using RCGA, we can find proper gains in several situations and these gains are generalized by neural network. The generalization power of neural network will give proper gain in untrained situation. Performance of proposed controller will verify numerical simulations and the results show better performance than constant gain controller.

A design method for a teleoperator robot system is presented in this paper. The control system consists of two phases; approach phase and contact one. The end-effector position of the estimated slave robot and the contact force between the end-effector and wall are displayed on the monitors at control site, using which the operator controls the teleoperator system. The approach phase controller is designed using Smith's principle and the contact one designed based upon the structured singular value ${\mu}$ in order to increase the robustness of the system. The uncertainatices such as communication time delay and the variations of system parameters are considered as a muliplicative pertubation. Computer simulations are conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed design method. It is found that desirable control performance, especially in the contact phase, is obtained if the control mode is switched into contact phase when the estimated position of the slave robot end-effector is in front of the wall.

In this paper, we design a robust controller for trajectory control of n-link robot manipulators with bounded parametric uncertainties. The proposed control scheme with integral control improves tracking error due to limit of the robust feedback gains and use of continuous control input for chattering rejection. The integral of the tracking error is augmented to the error system equation and the stability of the closed-loop system is achieved. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated by simulation on a 2-link manipulator.

A new chattering free PD-sliding mode hybrid control scheme is proposed for robot manipulators. This hybrid controller is composed of a PD controller and a semi-continuous sliding mode controller. It has a good robust performance in reaching mode which does not possess invariance property of sliding mode, and has chattering free characteristics in sliding mode. Thus, the PD-sliding mode hybrid controller has a good robust performance in the whole region. It is shown that the proposed control has a good transient response and trajectory tracking performance for a 2-link SCARA robot manipulator.

In this paper, the authors consider a robot motion control to cope with painting, welding jobs and etc. Especially, a method for easy recognition and regeneration of the robot motions made by the operator is proposed. The method is based on the process of accurate modelling, controller design and experimental evaluation. In this study, the model and controller for all motions are obtained individually, where the control system is designed on the robust control framework. And the experiment result with good control performance is presented.

Robot manipulators, which are nonlinear structures and have uncertain system parameters, have complex in dynamics when are operated in unknown environment. To compensate for estimate errors of the uncertain system parameters and to accomplish the desired trajectory tracking, nonlinear robust controllers are appropriate. However, when estimation errors or tracking errors are large, they require large input torques, which may not be satisfied due to torque limits of actuators. As a result, their stability can not be guaranteed. In this paper, a new robust control scheme is presented to solve stability problem and to achieve fast trajectory tracking in the presence of torque limits. By using fuzzy logic, new desired trajectories which can be reduced are generated based on the initial desired trajectory, and torques of the robust controller are regulated to not exceed torque limits. Numerical examples are shown to validate the proposed controller using an uncertain two degree-of-freedom underwater robot manipulator.
