TLDR
In this paper, the point-to-point control of a manipulator with three revolute elastic joints is considered and it is shown that a simple PD controller, similar to that used for rigid robots, suffices to globally stabilize the elastic joint robots about a reference position.
Abstract
The point-to-point control of manipulators having elastic joints is considered. It is shown that a simple PD (proportional plus derivative) controller, similar to that used for rigid robots, suffices to globally stabilize the elastic joint robots about a reference position. A robustness analysis is also given with respect to uncertainties on the robot parameters. The results of numerical simulation tests of a manipulator with three revolute elastic joints are presented. >

Task space robot control: convergence analysis and gravity compensation via integral feedback

TL;DR: It is proved that a suitable choice of the feedback gains always ensure for P-type inner loop, uniform ultimate boundedness of the errors, while using PI- type inner loop it is possible to prove the local asymptotic convergence to zero of the position and orientation errors.

Prescribed performance regulation for robot manipulators

TL;DR: The control input incorporates a transformed error that ensures prescribed error performance which is not affected by constant disturbances and control gains and control parameter selection is significantly simplified.

Robustness of PID-controlled manipulators with respect to external disturbances

TL;DR: This work provides a proof, and a tuning procedure, to establish uniform semiglobal practical asymptotic stability for robot manipulators under the influence of external disturbances, in contrasts to other works on robust stability of PIDs.

Robust Output Feedback Control of Single-Link Flexible-Joint Robot Manipulator with Matched Disturbances Using High Gain Observer

TL;DR: In this article, a sliding mode control (SMC) based output feedback controller is devised for single-link flexible-joint robot manipulators (SFJRMs) with matched disturbances and parametric uncertainties, and the results show that the designed control technique works well when the SFJRM model is uncertain and matched perturbations are expected.

Fast Nonlinear Control with Arbitrary Pole-Placement for Industrial Robots and Manipulators

TL;DR: In this paper, three nonlinear methods are presented, two of which are direct design procedures for industrial robots, based on a suitable partition of the dynamic equation of the industrial robot and provide directly applicable, explicit control laws for each drive.

An integral manifold approach to the feedback control of flexible joint robots

TL;DR: The control problem for robot manipulators with flexible joints is considered and it is shown how to approximate the feedback linearizing control to any order in µ, an approximate feedback linearization which linearizes the system for all practical purposes.
