Abstract :
This paper describes progress being made towards the computer aided design of Variable Structure type controllers for robots which exhibit significant drive nonlinearities. Results are given of the design of such a controller for a single axis, compared with the performance of the existing PID controller, and future research plans are outlined towards multi-axis control.
