    Nonlinear Control of Tendon Driven Robot Manipulators: Elimination of Actuator Side Position Measurements
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Okur, Beytullah; Zergeroğlu, Erkan; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver
    In this study, a partial state feedback controller is proposed for the link position tracking control problem of flexible tendon driven robotic systems. Specifically; a nonlinear model based controller is formulated for tendon driven robot manipulators under the constraint that only the link position and tendon expansion force measurements are available. Despite the lack of link and actuator side velocity and actuator position measurements, the proposed controller ensures exponential link position tracking. To eliminate the need of actuator position and velocity measurements, a model based velocity observer has been utilized. Stability of the closed loop system and boundedness of system states are proven via Lyapunov based arguments. The performance of the purposed observer-controller couple is then verified by a set of numerical simulations.

    Nonlinear Robust Control of Tendon–driven Robot Manipulators
    (Springer Verlag, 2015) Okur, Beytullah; Aksoy, Orhan; Zergeroglu, Erkan; Tatlıcıoglu, Enver
    This work addresses the position tracking control problem for tendon–driven robotic mechanisms in the presence of parametric uncertainty and additive external disturbances. Specifically, a full state feedback nonlinear robust controller is proposed to tackle the link position tracking problem for tendon–driven robot manipulators with uncertain dynamical system parameters. A robust backstepping approach has been utilized to achieve uniformly ultimately bounded tracking performance despite the lack of exact knowledge of the dynamical parameters and presence of additive but bounded disturbance terms. Stability of the overall system is proven via Lyapunov based arguments. Simulation studies performed on a two link planar robot manipulator driven by a six tendon mechanism are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and viability of the proposed approach.
