Abstract

In this article, we show a derivation of an uncertain system of a two-link RR manipulator with uncertainties in the two rotation angles of each joint. For this system, we apply a guaranteed cost control based on a linear upper bound. In our method, uncertainties are included in the state, input, and also output matrices. Parameter tuning of γ i in the linear upper bound is effective in designing a feedback gain which has appropriate characteristics. In the numerical simulation, we show that the state observer is effective at reducing the influence of signal noise in a state vector.
