Abstract

The joint robot control requires to map desired cartesian tasks into desired joint trajectories, by using the ill-posed inverse kinematics mapping. In order to avoid inverse kinematics, the control problem is formulated directly in task space to gives rise to cartesian robot control. In addition, when the robot is constrained due to its kinematic mappings yields a stiff system and an additional complexity arises to implement cartesian control for constrained robots. In this paper, an alternative approach is proposed to guarantee global convergence of force and position cartesian tracking errors under the assumption that the jacobian is not exactly known. A neuro-sliding mode controller is presented, where a small size adaptive neural network compensates approximately for the inverse dynamics and an inner control loop induces second order sliding modes to guarantee tracking. The sliding mode variable tunes the online adaptation of the weights. A passivity analysis yields the energy Lyapunov function to prove boundedness of all closed-loop signals and variable structure control theory is used to finally conclude convergence of position and force tracking errors. Experimental results are provided to visualize the expected performance.
