Abstract
- It is widely recognized that the existing parameter estimators and adaptive controllers for robot manipulators are extremely complicated to be of practical use. This is mainly due to the fact that the existing parameterization includes the complicated signal and parameter relations introduced by the Coriolis and centrifugal forces matrix. In an insightful remark of their seminal paper Slotine and Li suggested to use the parameterization of the power balance equation, which avoids these terms -- yielding significantly simpler designs. To the best of our knowledge, such an approach was never actually pursued in on-line implementations, because the excitation requirements for the consistent estimation of the parameters is ``very high". In this paper we use a recent technique of generation of ``exciting" regressors developed by the authors to overcome this fundamental problem. The result is applied to general Euler-Lagrange systems and the fundamental advantages of the new parameterization are illustrated with comprehensive simulations of a 2 degrees-of-freedom robot manipulator.
