Results on anti-windup design for Euler-Lagrange systems

In this paper we summarize the anti-windup construction suggested by Teel et al. (1997) for Euler-Lagrange systems and apply it to a SCARA robot controlled by a windup-prone decoupling PID controller. It is shown through simulation that the anti-windup design guarantees the local decoupled linear performance in. addition to global set-point tracking.
