TY - EJOU AU - Receanu, Dǎnu¸t TI - Modeling and Simulation of the Nonlinear Computed Torque Control in Simulink/MATLAB for an Industrial Robot T2 - Structural Longevity PY - 2013 VL - 10 IS - 2 SN - 1944-6128 AB - The paper presents a conceptually simple nonlinear controller, commonly called computer torque controller, which can fully compensate the nonlinear forces: Coriolis and centripetal forces (natural and continuous nonlinearities) and at the same time the program in Simulink can fully compensate the natural and discontinuous nonlinearities (hard nonlinearities): friction and backlash utilizing the intentional nonlinearities artificially introduced in system and lead to high accuracy control for a very large range of robot speeds and a large workspace.
