Abstract
  • A new decentralized nonlinear controller for Robot Manipulators is presented in this thesis. Based on concepts of Lyapunov stability theory and some control ideas proposed in [3]-[7], we obtain continuous nonlinear decentralized control laws which guarantee position and velocity tracking to within an arbitrarily small error. Assumptions based on physical constraints of manipulators are made to guarantee the existence of the controller and asymptotic stability of the closed loop system. Simulations show how well this rather simple control scheme works on two of the links of the Puma 560 Manipulator. The main contribution of this thesis is that it extends the results of a class of complex centralized control algorithms to the decentralized robust control of interconnected nonlinear subsystems like robot manipulators.
