Abstract

Tracking control of closed-chain robotic manipulators has posed a challenging and difficult task due to the complicated dynamic model, the presence of multi closed-loop chains and singularities. This paper presents a novel tracking controller using radial basic function networks (RBFNs) for closed-chain robotic manipulators. The dynamic model of a general closed-chain robotic manipulator is presented in the presence of structured and unstructured uncertainties. In order to compensate the uncertainties, the RBFNs are used. An adaptation law is proposed to adjust on-line the output weights of the RBFNs. The validity of the proposed controller is shown by computer simulations of a five-bar planar parallel manipulator.
