Summary

In most dynamic adaptive control simulation of robotic manipulators, the Langrange–Euler (L–E) dynamic equations are first piecewise linearized about the desired reference and then discretized and rewritten in a state space form. This makes things very complicated and it is easy to make errors. What is more is that with a different reference this work must be done again. A new simulation scheme – Backward Recursive Self-Tuning Adaptive (BRSTA) – as it will be called, is suggested in this paper for adaptive controller design of robot manipulators. A two degree of freedom robot manipulator is used to verify the scheme in the condition of highly nonlinear and highly coupled system. A one degree of freedom robot manipulator is used for comparing both the forward and backward methods. The main advantages of this scheme include that it can be used for evaluating the self-tuning adaptive control laws and provide the initial process parameters for real-time control. And it is concluded here that the Newton–Euler (N–E) dynamic equations are equally well qualified as the Langrange–Euler (L-E) equations for the simulation of self-tuning adaptive control of robot manipulators.
