Adaptive Control of a Construction Manipulator

Abstract

The paper describes an advanced control technique that uses a self-adjusting controller. The technique allows changing control parameters of the manipulator according to different technological forces and disturbances acting to the end-effector of the manipulator while performing surface treatment construction operations such as cleaning and polishing. The system is asymptotically stable for the phase error and can be implemented on a base of existed industrial robots.
