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. >

A Simple but Robust Impedance Controller for Series Elastic Actuators

TL;DR: This study presents an impedance controller for series elastic actuators (SEAs), using the singular perturbation (SP) theory and time-delay estimation (TDE) technique, and demonstrates that the proposed controller produces satisfactory tracking performance while–at the same time–pursues wider operational bandwidth and lower driving-point impedance.

Dynamic Gravity Cancellation and Regulation Control in Robots with Flexible Transmissions: Constant, Nonlinear, and Variable Stiffness

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of perfect cancellation of gravity effects in the dynamics of robot manipulators having flexible transmissions at the joints and designed feedback control laws that let the system outputs behave as those of the same robot device when gravity is absent.

Coordination of Rigid and Flexible Joint Robot Manipulators

TL;DR: In this article, two coordinating controllers are presented, one for rigid joint robots and one for flexible joint robots, in both cases the coordination system is based on a master-slave scheme and only position measurements are required.

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.
