A family of nonlinear PID-like regulators for a class of torque-driven robot manipulators equipped with torque-constrained actuators

This article addresses the joint position control of torque-driven robot manipulators under actuators subject to torque saturation. Robots having viscous friction, but without gravity vector, are considered. By assuming a static model for the torque actuator (specifically, a model of nonlinear and n...
