In this study, a new adaptive synchronized tracking control approach is developed for the operation of multiple robotic manipulators in the presence of uncertain kinematics and dynamics. In terms of the system synchronization and adaptive control, the proposed approach can stabilize position tracking of each robotic manipulator while coordinating its motion with the other robotic manipulators. ...

This paper presents a review of self-organizing feature maps (SOFMs), in particular, those based on the Kohonen algorithm, applied to adaptive modeling and control of robotic manipulators. Through a number of references we show how SOFMs can learn nonlinear input–output mappings needed to control robotic manipulators, thereby coping with important robotic issues such as the excess degrees of fr...

— For robotic manipulators that are redundant or with high degrees of freedom, an analytical solution to the inverse kinematics is very difficult or impossible. As alternative approaches, neural networks and optimal search methods have been widely used for inverse kinematics modeling and control in robotics. This paper presents a first analytical solution to the inverse kinematics of a widely u...

In this paper, a mathematical model of flexible single link robotic manipulator that has a rotational base and translational motion has been developed using lagrangian method. The control strategies like PID, LQR and State feedback controller have been implemented for controlling the tip position of flexible single link robotic manipulators through MATLAB. State feedback controller uses pole pl...

in this paper robust pid control of fully-constrained cable driven parallel manipulators with elastic cables is studied in detail. in dynamic analysis, it is assumed that the dominant dynamics of cable can be approximated by linear axial spring. to develop the idea of control for cable robots with elastic cables, a robust pid control for cable driven robots with ideal rigid cables is firstly de...

Robotic telesurgery is a promising application of robotics to medicine, aiming to enhance the dexterity and sensation of regular and minimally invasive surgery through using millimeter-scale robotic manipulators under the control of the surgeon.

This article gives an overview of the Mechanism Model paradigm. The mechanism model paradigm provides a framework to modeling mechanisms for robotic control. The emphasis is on the unification of mathematical models of kinematics/dynamics, geometric information and control system parameters of a variety of robotic systems (including serial manipulators, wheeled and legged locomotors), with algo...

This paper develops a new Lyapunov recursive design for the tracking control problem of rigid-link electrically-driven robot manipulators with uncertainty by taking a tracking performance into account. The tracking performance is evaluated by L2-gain from a torque level disturbance signal to a penalty signal for the tracking error between outputs of the manipulator and desired trajectories. The...
