The proposed algorithm regulates the system angular position using information of angular displacements measurements to generate only positive control signals, and also compensates the unknown friction effects present in the joints of the system. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using numerical tests, which shows the system stability considering the regulation problem of two degrees of freedom, in the same sense a stability argumentation is presented to validate the control algorithm proposed.","PeriodicalId":202730,"journal":{"name":"18th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (conielecomp 2008)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121275881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
