TLDR
In this article, a novel approach for controlling electrically driven robot manipulators based on voltage control is presented, where feedback linearization is applied on the electrical equations of the dc motors to cancel the current terms which transfer all manipulator dynamics to the electrical circuit of motor.
Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach for controlling electrically driven robot manipulators based on voltage control. The voltage-based control is preferred comparing to torque-based control. This approach is robust in the presence of manipulator uncertainties since it is free of the manipulator model. The control law is very simple, fast response, efficient, robust, and can be used for high-speed tracking purposes. The feedback linearization is applied on the electrical equations of the dc motors to cancel the current terms which transfer all manipulator dynamics to the electrical circuit of motor. The control system is simulated for position control of the PUMA 560 robot driven by permanent magnet dc motors.

Robust control of electrically driven robots by adaptive fuzzy estimation of uncertainty

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear adaptive fuzzy estimation and compensation of uncertainty is proposed to model the uncertainty as a non-linear function of the joint position error and its time derivative, and a comparison between the proposed Nonlinear Adaptive Fuzzy Control and a Robust Nonlinear Control (NAFC) is presented.

Robust task-space control of robot manipulators using Legendre polynomials for uncertainty estimation

TL;DR: In this paper, a robust task-space control of electrically driven robot manipulators using voltage control strategy is proposed. But, the complexity of the robust control law is high, and it requires some feedbacks of the system states which providing them may be expensive.
