The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

dc.description.abstractThe computed-torque algorithm is a popular model-based robot trajectory control scheme. Adding an adaptive mechanism to this scheme can improve the error tracking capabilities of the robot controller. This thesis describes the algorithms necessary to develop a computer simulation for the PUMA 560 robot arm. Several robot controllers are outlined with an emphasis on the computed-torque scheme. The PUMA simulation is used to analyze the error tracking capabilities of an adaptive computed-torque controller. Consideration is given to parameter mismatch, unmodeled friction, unknown loading, and path excitation. This thesis shows that even with inaccurate load knowledge the adaptive algorithm enhances the tracking capabilities of the controller.
