Abstract
In this paper, fractional-order observer/controller design for flexible-joint robots is developed. In order to eliminate the need for obtaining the regressor matrix, the Fourier series expansion is applied for uncertainty estimation. Voltage saturation nonlinearities are compensated in the control law; hence, knowledge of the actuator/manipulator dynamics model is not required in the proposed method. Uniformly ultimately boundedness of observer estimation error and joint position tracking error are guaranteed through Lyapunov stability concept. The case study is a single-link flexible-joint robot actuated by permanent magnet DC motors. Experimental results are presented to emphasize the successful practical implementation of the proposed algorithm. Based on the experimental results, the proposed controller considerably outperforms some previous related works using various criteria.
