This document describes simulation of non-linear computed torque control for a two link SCARA type manipulator in Simulink. It begins with an introduction to SCARA manipulators and computed torque control. It then provides the inverse kinematics equations to transform between Cartesian and joint space for the manipulator. It derives the equations of motion using Lagrange's equations. It describes a pick and place task and generates trajectories between points using a third order polynomial. Finally, it introduces computed torque control which uses feedback linearization to calculate the required joint torques to control the nonlinear manipulator.
Design and Simulation of Different Controllers for Stabilizing Inverted Pendu...IJERA Editor

The Inverted Pendulum system has been identified for implementing controllers as it is an inherently unstable system having nonlinear dynamics. The system has fewer control inputs than degrees of freedom which makes it fall under the class of under-actuated systems. It makes the control task more challenging making the inverted pendulum system a classical benchmark for the design, testing, evaluating and comparing. The inverted pendulum to be discussed in this paper is an inverted pendulum mounted on a motor driven cart. The aim is to stabilize the system such that the position of the cart on the track is controlled quickly and accurately so that the pendulum is always erected in its vertical position. In this paper the linearized model was obtained by Jacobian matrix method. The Matlab-Simulink models have been developed for simulation for optimal control design of nonlinear inverted pendulum-cart dynamic system using different control methods. The methods discussed in this paper are a double Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control method, a modern Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control method and a combination of PID and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control methods. The dynamic and steady state performance are investigated and compared for the above controllers.
On tracking control problem for polysolenoid motor model predictive approach IJECEIAES
ย
The Polysolenoid Linear Motor (PLM) have been playing a crucial role in many industrial aspects due to its functions, in which a straight motion is provided directly without mediate mechanical actuators. Recently, with several commons on mathematic model, some control methods for PLM based on Rotational Motor have been applied, but position, velocity and current constraints which are important in real systems have been ignored. In this paper, position tracking control problem for PLM was considered under state-independent disturbances via min-max model predictive control. The proposed controller forces tracking position errors converge to small region of origin and satisfies state including position, velocity and currents constraints. Further, a numerical simulation was implemented to validate the performance of the proposed controller.
MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF INVERTED PENDULUM USING INTERNAL MODEL CONTROLJournal For Research

The internal model control (IMC) philosophy relies on the internal model principle, which states that control can be achieved only if the control system encapsulates, either implicitly or explicitly, some representation of the process to be controlled. In particular, if the control scheme is developed based on an exact model of the process, then perfect control is theoretically possible. Transfer function of Inverted Pendulum is selected as the base of design, which examines IMC controller. Matlab/simulink is used to simulate the procedures and validate the performance. The results shows robustness of the IMC and got graded responses when compared with PID. Furthermore, a comparison between the PID and IMC was shows that IMC gives better response specifications.

Troubleshooting and Enhancement of Inverted Pendulum System Controlled by DSP...Thomas Templin
ย
An inverted pendulum is a pendulum that has its center of mass above its pivot point. It is often implemented with the pivot point mounted on a cart that can move horizontally and may be called a cart-and-pole system. A normal pendulum is always stable since the pendulum hangs downward, whereas the inverted pendulum is inherently unstable and trivially underactuated (because the number of actuators is less than the degrees of freedom). For these reasons, the inverted pendulum has become one of the most important classical problems of control engineering. Since the 1950s, the inverted-pendulum benchmark, especially the cart version, has been used for the teaching and understanding of the use of linear-feedback control theory to stabilize an open-loop unstable system.
The objectives of this project are to:
โข Focus on hardware and software troubleshooting and enhancement of an inverted-pendulum system controlled by a DSP28355 microprocessor and CCSv7.1 software.
โข Use the swing-up strategy to move the pendulum into the unstable upward position (โsaddleโ). The cart/pole system employs linear bearings for back-and-forward motion. The motor shaft has a pinion gear that rides on a track permitting the cart to move in a linear fashion. Both rack and pinion are made of hardened steel and mesh with a tight tolerance. The rack-and-pinion mechanism eliminates undesirable effects found in belt-driven and free-wheel systems, such as slippage or belt stretching, ensuring consistent and continuous traction.
โข The motor shaft is coupled to a high-resolution optical encoder that accurately measures the position of the cart. The angle of the pendulum is also measured by an optical encoder, and the system employs an LQR controller to stabilize the pendulum rod at the unstable-equilibrium position.
โข Addition of real-time status reporting and visualization of the system.
For the project, the Quanser High Frequency Linear Cart (HFLC) was used. The HFLC system consists of a precisely machined solid aluminum cart driven by a high-power 3-phase brushless DC motor. The cart slides along two high-precision, ground-hardened stainless steel guide rails, allowing for multiple turns and continuous measurement over the entire range of motion.
Our team implemented a control strategy that consists of a linear stabilizing LQR controller, proportional-integral swing-up control, and a supervisory coordinator that determines the control strategy (LQR or swing-up) to be used at any given time. The function of the linear stabilizer is to stabilize the system when it is in the vicinity of the unstable equilibrium. When the pendulum is in its natural state (straight-down stable-equilibrium node), the swing-up controller provides the cart/pendulum system with adequate energy to move the pendulum to the unstable equilibrium inside the โregion of attractionโ in which the linearized LQR controller is functional.

This work primarily addresses the design and implementation of a neural network based controller for the trajectory tracking of a differential drive mobile robot. The proposed control algorithm is an NN-based adaptive controller which tunes the gains of the back-stepping controller online according to the robot reference trajectory and its initial posture. In this method, a neural network is needed to learn the characteristics of the plant dynamics and make use of it to determine the future inputs that will minimize error performance index so as to compensate the back-stepping controller gains. The advantages and disadvantages of theproposed control algorithms will be discussed in each section with illustrations.Comprehensive system modeling including robot kinematics and dynamics modeling has been done. The dynamic modeling is done using Newtonian and Lagrangian methodologies for nonholonomic systems and the results are compared to verify the accuracy of each method. Simulation of the robot model and different controllers has been done using Matlab and Matlab Simulink.

Dynamics and control of a robotic arm having four linksAmin A. Mohammed
ย
Abstract The manipulator control is an important problem
in robotics. To work out this problem, a correct dynamic
model for the robot manipulator must be in hand. Hence, this
work first presents the dynamic model of an existing 4-DOF
robot manipulator based on the EulerโLagrange principle,
utilizing the body Jacobian of each link and the generalized
inertia matrix. Furthermore, essential properties of the
dynamic model are analyzed for the purpose of control. Then,
a PID controller is designed to control the position of the
robot by decoupling the dynamic model. To achieve a good
performance, the differential evolution algorithm is used for
the selection of parameters of the PID controller. Feedback
linearization scheme is also utilized for the position and trajectory
tracking control of the manipulator. The obtained
results reveal that the PID control coupled with the differential
evolution algorithm and the feedback linearization
control enhance the performance of the robotic manipulator.
It is also found out that increasing masses of manipulator
links do not affect the performance of the PID position control,
but higher control torques are required in these cases.

Design Artificial Nonlinear Robust Controller Based on CTLC and FSMC with Tun...Waqas Tariq
ย
One of the most active research areas in the field of robotics is robot manipulators control, because these systems are multi-input multi-output (MIMO), nonlinear, time variant and uncertainty. An artificial non linear robust controller design is major subject in this work. At present, robot manipulators are used in unknown and unstructured situation and caused to provide complicated systems, consequently nonlinear classical controllers are used in artificial intelligence control methodologies to design nonlinear robust controller with satisfactory performance (e.g., minimum error, good trajectory, disturbance rejection). Sliding mode controller (SMC) and computed torque controller (CTC) are the best nonlinear robust controllers which can be used in uncertainty nonlinear. Sliding mode controller has two most important challenges in uncertain systems: chattering phenomenon and nonlinear dynamic equivalent part. Computed torque controller works very well when all nonlinear dynamic parameters are known. This research is focused on the applied non-classical method (e.g., Fuzzy Logic) in robust classical method (e.g., Sliding Mode Controller and computed torque controller) in the presence of uncertainties and external disturbance to reduce the limitations. Applying the Mamdaniโs error based fuzzy logic controller with minimum rules is the first goal that causes the elimination of the mathematical nonlinear dynamic in SMC and CTC. Second target focuses on the elimination of chattering phenomenon with regard to the variety of uncertainty and external disturbance in fuzzy sliding mode controller and computed torque like controller by optimization the tunable gain. Therefore fuzzy sliding mode controller with tunable gain (GTFSMC) and computed torque like controller with tunable gain (GTCTLC) will be presented in this paper.
โThis paper presents a new image based visual servoing (IBVS) control scheme for omnidirectional wheeled mobile robots with four swedish wheels. The contribution is the proposal of a scheme that consider the overall dynamic of the system; this means, we put together mechanical and electrical dynamics. The actuators are direct current (DC) motors, which imply that the system input signals are armature voltage applied to DC motors. In our control scheme the PD control law and eye-to-hand camera configuration are used to compute the armature voltages and to measure system states, respectively. Stability proof is performed via Lypunov direct method and LaSalle's invariance principle. Simulation and experimental results were performed in order to validate the theoretical proposal and to show the good performance of the posture errors.

Fractional-order sliding mode controller for the two-link robot arm IJECEIAES
ย
This study presents a control system of the two-link robot arm based on the sliding mode controller with the fractional-order. Firstly, the equations of the two-link robot arm are analyzed, then the author proposes the controller for each joint based on these equations. The controller is a sliding mode controller with its order is not an integer value. The task of the control system is controlling the torques acted on the joints so that the response angle of each link equal to the desired angle. The effectiveness of the proposed control system is demonstrated through Matlab-Simulink software. The robot model and controller are built for investigating the efficiency of the system. The result shows that the system quality is very good: there is not the chattering phenomenon of torques, the response angle of two links always follow the desired angle with the short transaction time and the static error of zero.

Design a nonlinear controller for second order nonlinear uncertain dynamical systems (e.g., internal combustion engine) is one of the most important challenging works. This paper focuses on the comparative study between two important nonlinear controllers namely; computed torque controller (CTC) and sliding mode controller (SMC) and applied to internal combustion (IC) engine in presence of uncertainties. In order to provide high performance nonlinear methodology, sliding mode controller and computed torque controller are selected. Pure SMC and CTC can be used to control of partly known nonlinear dynamic parameters of IC engine. Pure sliding mode controller and computed torque controller have difficulty in handling unstructured model uncertainties. To solve this problem applied linear error-based tuning method to sliding mode controller and computed torque controller for adjusting the sliding surface gain (รซ ) and linear inner loop gain (K). Since the sliding surface gain (รซ) and linear inner loop gain (K) are adjusted by linear error-based tuning method. In this research new รซ and new K are obtained by the previous รซ and K multiple gains updating factor(รก). The results demonstrate that the error-based linear SMC and CTC are model-based controllers which works well in certain and uncertain system. These controllers have acceptable performance in presence of uncertainty.

This work presents the kinematics model of an RA-
02 (a 4 DOF) robotic arm. The direct kinematic problem is
addressed using both the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) convention
and the product of exponential formula, which is based on the
screw theory. By comparing the results of both approaches, it
turns out that they provide identical solutions for the
manipulator kinematics. Furthermore, an algebraic solution of
the inverse kinematics problem based on trigonometric
formulas is also provided. Finally, simulation results for the
kinematics model using the Matlab program based on the DH
convention are presented. Since the two approaches are
identical, the product of exponential formula is supposed to
produce same simulation results on the robotic arm studied.

This work treats the modeling and simulation of non-linear system behavior of an induction motor using backstepping sliding mode control (BACK- SMC). First, the direct field oriented control IM is derived. Then, a sliding for direct field oriented control is proposed to compensate the uncertainties, which occur in the control. Finally, the study of Backstepping sliding controls strategy of the induction motor drive. Our non linear system is simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK environment, the results obtained illustrate the efficiency of the proposed control with no overshoot, and the rising time is improved with good disturbances rejections comparing with the classical control law.
Inverse Kinematics Analysis for Manipulator Robot with Wrist Offset Based On ...Waqas Tariq

This paper presents an algorithm to solve the inverse kinematics for a six degree of freedom (6 DOF) manipulator robot with wrist offset. This type of robot has a complex inverse kinematics, which needs a long time for such calculation. The proposed algorithm starts from find the wrist point by vectors computation then compute the first three joint angles and after that compute the wrist angles by analytic solution. This algorithm is tested for the TQ MA2000 manipulator robot as case study. The obtained results was compared with results of rotational vector algorithm where both algorithms have the same accuracy but the proposed algorithm saving round about 99.6% of the computation time required by the rotational vector algorithm, which leads to used this algorithm in real time robot control.
This research paper presents a new technique for the synthesis of complex planar mechanisms. The author
calls this technique โnomogram-based synthesisโ since it depends on a kinematic nomogram facilitating the
synthesis of complex planar mechanisms without need to complex optimization procedures. A procedure of five
steps is presented to synthesize the mechanism under study for time ratio up to 4.3, normalized stroke up to 3.33.
The nomogram based synthesis can maintain transmission angle to be within a range from 94 to 120 degrees
indicating the effectiveness of the synthesis approach presented.

The Neural Network-Combined Optimal Control System of Induction MotorIJECEIAES
ย
This research aims to propose the optimal control method combined with the neuron network for an induction motor. In the proposed system, the induction motor is a nonlinear object which is controlled at each working point. At these working-points, the state equation of the induction motor is linear, so it is possible to apply the linear quadratic regular algorithm for the induction motor. Therefore, the parameters of the state feedback controller are the functions. The output-input relationships of these functions are set through the neural network. The numerical simulation results show that the quality of the control system of the induction motor is very high: The response speed always follows the desired speed with the short transition time and the small overshoot. Furthermore, the system is robust in the case of changing the load torque, and the parameters of the induction motor are incorrectly defined

After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more โmechanicalโ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Key words: Manipulator Dynamics, Simulation, ScaraManipulator, Torque Control
I. INTRODUCTION
Robotic manipulators copy human arm in industrial applications such as pick and place,carry
parts,welding operations,etc. Scara (Selective Compliance Articulated Robotic Arm) was developed by
Professor Hiroshi Makino from University of Yamanashi and his team.Scara manipulator is free to move
horizontal plane and its vertical motion is restricted[1] and [2].
Since Scara is the direct driven manipulator, joints are needed to be controlled directly by actuators. In
order to achieve desired end-effector position,velocity and acceleration, operational space position,velocity and
acceleration need to be transform into joint space[3]. This transformation is done with inverse kinematic
equation which are presented in section(2).
Equations of motion of a robotic manipulators can be obtained by using Lagrange-Euler method or
Newton-Euler method. Since those equations identify the physical behavior of robotic manipulator, these
equations are used to simulate and analysis manipulator. These equations are also used to solve forward and
inverse dynamics problems. In forward dynamics case, applied torques/forces are given and joint accelerations
are found. Integrating accelerations joint velocities and positions are found. In inverse dynamic case, joint
positions,velocities and accelerations are given and joint torques/forces are found. In section(3), dynamic
equations of manipulator which are found using Lagrange-Euler method are presented.
Robotic manipulators are designed to do given task. Task planning and due to that task joint trajectory
generation is essential in robotics. In section(4), an artificial pick and place task and due to this task joint
trajectories are generated. A joint trajectory includes joint position, velocity and acceleration.
Task of the controller is sensing information from controlled plant and improving its performance. This
plant can be linear or non-linear[4]. While designing control systems stability, good disturbance rejection and
tracking trajectories with acceptable errors are indispensable requirements [5]. These requirements can be
provided by linear controllers for slow operation in industry such as; laser cutting, welding processes. In this
type control system every joint is controlled as a single input,single output system(SISO) and coupling effects
are considered as disturbances. But, this method canโt give satisfactory results at high speeds. In this case,
computed torque controller(CTC) is a good solution. The principle of CTC is feedback linearization and it uses
the non-linear feedback control law to calculate required joint torques. To get good performance by using CTC,
all dynamic and physical parameters are needed to be well known[6]. In section(5), CTC for Scara type
manipulator is presented.
II. INVERSE KINEMATICS OF MANIPULATORS
Inverse kinematics analysis can be expressed as, obtaining joint variables by using Cartesian space
coordinates of end effector. Generally, trajectory which will be followed by end effector is known and for that
trajectory, required joint variables acquired by inverse kinematics. Due to nonlinearities in kinematic equations,
solving inverse kinematics problems more difficult and complicated than forward kinematic problems. In
addition, there is no general solution method for inverse kinematics as differ than forward kinematics.

In inverse kinematics case some points have to be considered such as; existence of solution, singularity
problems etc. Beside these, all coordinates should be in working envelope of the manipulator.

case), and end effector positions are presented. Equations (1-2) indicate forward kinematics of the

III. MANIPULATOR DYNAMICS
Equations of motion which specify dynamic behavior of the manipulator constitute dynamic model of
the manipulator. Dynamic model has same behavior as real physical model, so manipulator can be analyzed
without constructing physical system. Besides this, equations of motion give chance to analysis relationship
between applied torques on joints and manipulator position, velocity and acceleration with respect to time.

IV. TASK PLANNING AND TRAJECTORY GENERATION
4.1 TASK PLANNING
The Task is a simple pick and place operation and its steps as follows;
1-Start from initial position to Point1 and wait for one second for grasping operation.
2-Move from Point1 to Point2 and wait for one second for placing operation.

Figure 4-Manipulator Initial Position
Figure 5-Point 1 and Manipulator Configuration at Point 1
Figure 6-Point 2 and Manipulator Configuration at Point 2
4.2 TRAJECTORY GENERATION
For robot trajectory, Point 1 and Point 2 are considered the first two boundary conditions. Velocity of
manipulator should be zero at starting point and finishing point.So, these two zero velocities can be considered
other two boundary conditions. For four boundary conditions a third order polynomial fulfills the condition[8].
๐( ๐ก ) = ๐3 ๐ก 3
+ ๐2 ๐ก 2
+ ๐1 ๐ก + ๐0 (25)
๐( ๐ก ) = 3๐3 ๐ก 2
+ 2๐2 ๐ก + ๐1
(26)
๐( ๐ก ) = 6๐3 ๐ก + 2๐2
(27)
After determining two points where manipulator travels between, by using equations (3-11) two
Cartesian space coordinates are transformed into joint space. These two points are first two boundary conditions
and other two conditions are zero velocities in initial case and final case. With these four conditions a third order
polynomial can be generated as in equation (25). Taking time derivative of equation (25) joint velocities and
joint accelerations are obtained.

Figure 7-Examples of Generated Trajectories
Figure 5, Shows position,velocity and acceleration functions between two points. In pick and place
operation manipulator should travel from initial point to Point 1, wait for one second in order to grasping
operation next travel to Point 2 and wait again for one second to placing operation. Every travel takes three
seconds. For this condition four step trajectory is needed.

Figure 10-Acceleration Trajectories for Joint 1 and Joint 2
V. CONTROL
Control is simply, to hold links of manipulator in desired position with velocity and acceleration. To do
this, physical parameters of the manipulator such as, mass, inertia etc. should be known and equations of
motions should be derived. But, in many case these equations are not linear and not easy to solve. At this point,
non-linear control methods like computed torque control come up. In this method, system is separated into two
pieces as linear part and non-linear part. Linear part is controlled with proportional derivative control (PD) and
effect of the non-linear parts are inserted in system as disturbances. This method is presented in figure 11
schematically.

Where e(t) is the error function, ๐ ๐( ๐ก ) is the desired path and ๐ ๐ ( ๐ก ) is the actual path.
๐( ๐, ๐) + ๐บ( ๐) = ๐( ๐, ๐)
(29)
Dynamic equation of manipulator becomes;
๐( ๐) ๐ + ๐( ๐, ๐) = ๐ (30)
PD control scheme can be written as;
๐ข( ๐ก ) = โ๐พ ๐ท ๐ โ ๐พ ๐ ๐ (31)
Figure11- Control Scheme
๐พ ๐ท ๐๐๐ ๐พ ๐ are diagonal gain matrices of proportional and derivative gains respectively.
Equation (30) becomes;
๐ = ๐( ๐)( ๐ ๐ + ๐พ ๐ท ๐ + ๐พ ๐ ๐ ) + ๐( ๐, ๐) (32)
Resulting linear error dynamics is;
( ๐ ๐ + ๐พ ๐ท ๐ + ๐พ ๐ ๐ ) = 0 (33)
Considering linear system theory, tracking error converges to zero[3].

VI. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
During simulation, link lengths L1 and L2 were considered 1 meter, initial position of the manipulator
is at P(x,y)=P(0,2). Operational space of manipulator is simply a circle with a diameter of four meters. Picking
operation point was chosen P(0,1.1) and placing point P(0.8,1.1). Simulation time was eight seconds, between

the third and the fourth seconds manipulator was stopped at point P(0,1.1) and between the seventh and the eight
seconds manipulatorwas stopped at P(0.8,1.1). Actual x and y values were evaluated by using equations (1-2)
for pick and place points. In addition that positions errors were obtained. For both point error is smaller than 1
mm and it is quite acceptable in four meters diameter circle as an operational space. Computed torque control
method has an acceptable performance for compensating coupling torques and disturbances and also it is easy to
apply any non-linear robotic systems.
