Abstract :
The authors present a simple joint PD (proportional plus derivative) control scheme for robots with flexible links which guarantees global asymptotic stability of a desired constant arm configuration in the presence of gravity. A structural assumption about link elasticity is required and a mild condition on the proportional gain is derived. The proof of global asymptotic instability goes through a classical Lyapunov argument. The control law does not require any feedback from the deflection variables and is composed of a linear term plus a nominal feedforward term
