Summary

Nonlinear couplings between the various joints of a robotic arm cause trouble in robot control. One possibility to overcome these difficulties is offered by the concept of nonlinear decoupling. The latter leads to independent linear SISO systems, each of them describing the movement of one joint. Thus, an application of control concepts for linear SISO systems is possible. However, at present such decoupling controls are computed from the mathematical model of the arm, the so-called drive equations, whereas actuator dynamics are considered only in a secondary way. In this paper the decoupling problem for robots is investigated by accounting also for the actuator dynamics from the very beginning. This results in decoupling laws requiring a complete state feedback, i.e. not only joint positions and velocities but also the states of the various actuators have to be used. Further, formulas are given which make the computation of those states unsuitable for direct measurements.
