Additionally, a one-order compensation subsystem is employed to mitigate the impact of nonlinear uncertainties using an adaptive control scheme and the congelation of variables technique. Through this approach, the proposed controller involves only one actual control law and one adaptive law, allowing for direct use. The performance of the closed-loop system is analyzed based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using an IEEE 9-bus multi-machine power system (WSCC power system) consisting of nine buses and three machines.

However, there are three challenges associated with this approach. One issue that has been identified is that when a NURBS curve is split into multiple blocks, the resulting feed rate curve may become discontinuous if one or more blocks are too short. A further issue is that the NURBS curve cannot be fully executed due to errors in the calculation process. The final challenge is to ensure synchronous interpolation between the robot tip and the attitude. This paper proposes a high-precision NURBS interpolator based on S-shaped feedrate scheduling. The proposed design effectively addresses the issue of connection velocity between blocks. Furthermore, an optimization algorithm is proposed to ensure NURBS precision, to compensate for truncation error. In conclusion, a framework for synchronous interpolating the robot tooltip and attitude based on dual NURBS is proposed. The results of experiments demonstrate that our method effectively addresses the issue of NURBS curve blocks being too short.
