TL;DR: In this paper, a unified approach to kinematically constrained motion, dynamic interaction, target acquisition and obstacle avoidance is presented, which results in a unified control of manipulator behaviour.
Abstract: Manipulation fundamentally requires a manipulator to be mechanically coupled to the object being manipulated. A consideration of the physical constraints imposed by dynamic interaction shows that control of a vector quantity such as position or force is inadequate and that control of the manipulator impedance is also necessary. Techniques for control of manipulator behaviour are presented which result in a unified approach to kinematically constrained motion, dynamic interaction, target acquisition and obstacle avoidance.

TL;DR: In this article, simple state-space formulas are presented for a controller solving a standard H∞-problem, where the controller has the same state-dimension as the plant, its computation involves only two Riccati equations, and it has a separation structure reminiscent of classical LQG theory.
Abstract: Simple state-space formulas are presented for a controller solving a standard H∞-problem. The controller has the same state-dimension as the plant, its computation involves only two Riccati equations, and it has a separation structure reminiscent of classical LQG (i.e., H2) theory. This paper is also intended to be of tutorial value, so a standard H2-solution is developed in parallel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a methodology of feedback control to achieve accurate tracking for a class of nonlinear time-varying systems in the presence of disturbances and parameter variations.
Abstract: A methodology is presented of feedback control to achieve accurate tracking for a class of nonlinear time-varying systems in the presence of disturbances and parameter variations. The methodology uses in its idealized form piecewise continuous feedback control laws, resulting in the state trajectory `sliding' along a discontinuity surface in the state space. The idealized form of the methodology results in perfect tracking of the required signals; however certain non-idealities associated with its implementation cause the trajectory to 'chatter' along the sliding surface resulting in the generation of an undesirable high-frequency component which may excite high-frequency unmodelled dynamics of the control systems. To rectify this situation, it is shown how continuous control laws which approximate the discontinuous control law may be used to obtain disturbance and parameter variation insensitive tracking. At the same time, the continuous control laws decrease the extent of unwanted high-frequency signals.
