Dr. Howard Schwartz: Publication Abstract

Publication: H.M. Schwartz Model Reference Adaptive Control for Robotic Manipulators Without Velocity Measurements
Abstract: This paper presents a non-linear model reference adaptive controller for robot manipulators. Although the motivating application for this algorithm is in the field of robotics, the algorithm could be applied to non-linear systems that are feedback-linearizable. The algorithm developed does not require the measurement nor the estimation of manipulator joint velocities or accelerations. Simulation results verify the performance of the method.
