Abstract

A feedback linearization design for a class of nonlinear systems is described. The control system is an observer-based (full- or reduced-order) design that utilizes estimates of some of the states for both the exact feedback linearization and the linear outer-loop controller. In particular, the approach is applied to the dynamics of multilink robot manipulators. Simulation studies and experimental results on a two-link planar arm are given and contrasted to show the applicability of the proposed methodology. Some practical issues for real-time implementation of the feedback control algorithms are presented.
