Abstract
In this paper, a controller structure is developed to provide for asymptotic tracking of robot motion. The design tool is the theory of hyperstability and the analysis has led to a simple and an easy-to-implement robust version of the inverse dynamics. Simulation studies are worked out to demonstrate the controller performance. A comparison with other methods is done to show the merits of the developed scheme vs. other recently developed schemes. The implementation and computational requirements of the control schemes are determined and shown to be within the capabilities of new control hardware.
