Abstract
The problem of tracking an a-priori determined trajectory for a robot manipulator is considered. The overall control scheme of the presented solution consists of a feedforward part and a variable structure regulator in the feedback loop. The outputs of this regulator are of constant amplitudes, which considerably speeds up the on-line calculations. The local stability of the whole system in the presence of parameter uncertainties and bounded disturbances is proved.
