Adaptive decentralized control of robot manipulators driven by current-fed induction motors

In this paper, an adaptive decentralized control scheme with a rotor-flux observer is proposed for the tracking control of robot manipulators actuated by current-fed induction motors. To cope with all parametric uncertainties in the electromechanical systems, an adaptive law is designed so that all the signals of closed-loop systems are bounded, and the tracking errors in position, velocity and rotor fluxes converge to a residual set.
