Proportional-integro-differentiating (PID) controllers are widely used in solving control problems of technical systems, including mechanical ones. For this case, most of works are limited to the study of stabilization problem for steady motions and states; such studies are based on the analysis of model equations in a linear approximation. On the other hand, one of the urgent problems of controlled-motion mechanics is the problem of using PID controllers in tracking the trajectories of multi-link robotic manipulators with semi-global or global stabilization in a non-linear formulation. Practically little studied is the problem of justifying the applicability of such controllers taking into account possible delay in the feedback structure. This paper deals with such a problem. As an application of the theory developed in this paper, the control for a motion of a six-link manipulator is obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
