A method to evaluate the position performance for a stochastically defined planar robot manipulator is presented. Performance is defined as the operational reliability based upon the positional errors of the manipulator tip. An analytical method is developed and applied to a two-link robot manipulator through forward kinematics. This study includes uncertainties in the link length, pin center location and radial clearance. By virtue of the effective link length model, only the nominal manipulator model and statistical information on the uncertainties are required. The results from the analytical method is compared to those from the Monte Carlo simulation.

In order to not only perform as a extreme model under the severe operating condition but also acquire more diverse and advanced control capability utilizing high compliance, active vibration control of a flexible 2-link robot manipulator are investigated. Multi variable-structured frequency shaped optimal sliding mode is proposed for the flexible robot manipulator like control system, whose control variables, an angular motion of joint and vibration of flexible link, have to be controlled simultaneously by one control torque at a driving joint. The control system is divided into two subsystems, a control input related subsystem and an added subsystem. The proposed sliding mode, composed of multi control variables, makes optimized relation between subsystems and a individual control input, thus, the sliding mode controller can compensate whole dynamics of each subsystems simultaneously. And the possibility and effectiveness are verified by vibration control of a manipulator having two flexible links. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed control scheme achieves the purpose effectively.

Trajectory tracking control problems are described for a two-link robot manipulator with artificial rubber muscle actuators. Under the assumption that the so-called independent joint control is applied to the control system, the dynamic model for each link is identified as a linear second-order system with time-lag by the step response. Two control laws such as the feedforward and the computed torque control methods, are experimentally applied for controlling the circular trajectory of an actual robot manipulator.

This paper describes position and force hybrid control for a robot manipulator with artificial rubber muscle actuators. The controller using two control laws such as PID control and fuzzy logic control methods is designed. This paper concludes to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller by some experiments for a two-link manipulator.

A control law for a SCARA robot manipulator is designed using recursive torque methods. This scheme uses previous torques and error dynamics to generate torque controls at the present time and adopts relatively simple numerical and control algorithms that can be easily realizable. In order to evaluate the performance and robustness of the suggested control system, the 2-link SCARA robot manipulator is practically implemented using a dSPACE interface. It is found that the recursive controller has a good tracking performance in spite of the presence of payload disturbances.

In this paper a new adaptive control algorithm is derived, with the unknown manipulator and payload parameters being estimated online. In practice, we may simplify the algorithm by not explicity estimating all unknown parameters. Further, the controller must be robust to residual time-varying disturbance, such as striction or torque ripple. Also, the reference model is a simple douple integrator and the acceleration input for robot manipulator consists of a proportion and derivative controller for trajectory tracking purposes. The validity of this control is confirmed in simulation where two-link robot manipulator shows the robust performances in spite of the existing nonlinear interaction and unknown parametrictings

Control of multi-link robot arms is a very difficult problem because of the highly nonlinear dynamics. Decentralized control scheme is developed for control of robot manipulators based on RBF(Radial Basis Function) Neural Networks. RBF Neural Networks is used to approximate the coupling forces among the joints, coriolis force, centrifugal force, gravitational force, and frictional force. The compensation controller is also proposed to estimate the bound of approximation error so that the chattering effect of the control effort can be reduced. The proposed scheme does not require an accurate manipulator dynamic, and it is proved that closed-loop system is asymptotic stable despite the gross robot parameter variations. Numerical simulations for two-link robot manipulator are included to show the effectiveness of controller.

An adaptive control scheme has been recognized as an effective approach for a robot manipulator to track a desired trajectory in spite of the presence of nonlinearties and parameter uncertainties in robot dynamic models. In this paper, an adaptive control scheme for a robot manipulator is proposed to design the self-tuning controller which combines the pole placement with the extended linearized perturbation model. And this control scheme has two components: a feadforward control and a feedback compensation control. Based on this, the controller is demonstrated by the simulation about position control of a three-link manipulator with payload and parameter uncertainty.

This paper presents a new method for automatically calibrating robot link (Kinematic) parameters during the process of estimating motion parameters of a moving object. The motion estimation is performed based on stereo cameras mounted on the end-effector of a robot manipulator. This approach significantly differs from other calibration approaches in that the calibration is achieved by simply observing the motion of the moving object (without resorting to any other external calibrating tools) at numerous and widely varying joint-angle configurations. A differential error model, which expresses the measurement errors of a robot in terms of robot link parameter errors and motion parameters, is developed. And then a measurement equation representing the true measurement values is derived. By estimating the above two kinds of parameters minimizing the difference between the measurement equations and the true moving pattern, the calibration of the robot link parameters and the estimation of the motion parameters are accomplished at the same time.
