Springer (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing),
2005, 426 pages. This book addresses robot control in depth,
treating a range of model-based controllers in detail: proportional
derivative; proportional integral derivative; computed torque and
some adaptive variants. Using varying combinations of the text’s
four parts: a) robot dynamics and mathematical preliminaries; b)
set-point model-based control; c) tracking model-based control; and
d) adaptive and velocity-independent control. A complete course in
robot control based on joint space can be constructed for senior
undergraduates or masters students.
