Motion tasks for robot manipulators subject to joint velocity constraints
Xanthi S. Papageorgiou, Kostas J. Kyriakopoulos · 2008
We present a methodology to steer the end effector of a robotic manipulator, which is constrained in terms of joint rates, on the surface within the workspace. We develop controllers for stabilizing the end effector to a point, and for tracking a trajectory on this surface, while respecting the input constraints. We show that the resulting closed loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable and we verify our analytical development with computer simulations.
