Application of a robust indirect adaptive-control method in task-space hybrid manipulator control

Adaptive-control experiments with the PUMA 560 robot manipulator are addressed. We analyse the effectiveness of the application of robust indirect adaptive-control schemes in controlling the force-position of a robot manipulator in the task coordinates system. The adaptive control scheme comprises a modified recursive least squares (MRLS) parameter estimation algorithm and a pole-placement controller. Results of real-time implementations are presented and discussed.<
