Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Learning Control of Robot Manipulators in Task Space(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2018) Doğan, Kadriye Merve; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroğlu, Erkan; Çetin, KamilTwo important properties of industrial tasks performed by robot manipulators, namely, periodicity (i.e., repetitive nature) of the task and the need for the task to be performed by the end-effector, motivated this work. Not being able to utilize the robot manipulator dynamics due to uncertainties complicated the control design. In a seemingly novel departure from the existing works in the literature, the tracking problem is formulated in the task space and the control input torque is aimed to decrease the task space tracking error directly without making use of inverse kinematics at the position level. A repetitive learning controller is designed which “learns” the overall uncertainties in the robot manipulator dynamics. The stability of the closed-loop system and asymptotic end-effector tracking of a periodic desired trajectory are guaranteed via Lyapunov based analysis methods. Experiments performed on an in-house developed robot manipulator are presented to illustrate the performance and viability of the proposed controller.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Nonlinear 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, EnverIn 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.
