  • Abstract
    The control of such arms generally requires the reconstruction of a part or the whole of the state of the system. The authors study and compare three state observers for this application, namely a passive observer and a modified Kalman filter using the nonlinear model of the system, and an extended Kalman filter using linearisation of the model. They discuss the field of application, the performance and general properties of these observers
