Abstract
This paper proposes two simple adaptive control schemes of robot manipulators. The first one is the state feedback control which consists of feedforward from the desired position trajectory, PD feedback from the actual trajectory, and an auxiliary input. The second one is the feedforward/feedback control which consists of a feedforward term from the desired position, velocity, and acceleration trajectory based on the inverse of robot dynamics. The feedforward, feedback, and auxiliary gains are adapted using simple equations derived from the decentralized adaptive control theory based on Lyapunov's direct method, and using only the local information of the corresponding joint. The proposed control schemes are computationally fast and do not require a priori knowledge of the detail parameters of the manipulator or the payload. Simulation results are presented in support of the proposed schemes. The results demonstrate that both controllers perform well with bounded adaptive gains.
