Saturating stiffness control of robot manipulators with bounded inputs
María del Carmen Rodríguez-Liñán, Marco Mendoza, Isela Bonilla, César A. Chávez-Olivares
Abstract
A saturating stiffness control scheme for robot manipulators with bounded torque inputs is proposed. The control law is
assumed to be a PD-type controller, and the corresponding Lyapunov stability analysis of the closed-loop equilibrium point
is presented. The interaction between the robot manipulator and the environment is modeled as spring-like contact forces.
The proper behavior of the closed-loop system is validated using a three degree-of-freedom robotic arm.
