In this paper, a new practical dynamic robust control approach for cooperative robots with inequality constraints is proposed. The controller can compensate errors caused by uncertainties and external disturbances. The inequality constraint is eliminated by choosing proper boundary function and using state transformation. In this way, the controlled output is guaranteed within the desired range. The Lyapunov minimax method is used to prove that the controller can guarantee the uniform boundedness and uniform ultimate boundedness and stability of the robot system. Experimental verifications are carried out on a 2-DOF cooperative robot experimental platform with joint modules. The experimental platform is equipped with a rapid prototyping controller system (CSPACE). Numerical simulation and experimental verification results show that the proposed practical robust controller has significant advantages of trajectory tracking performance and security for cooperative robots with inequality constraints.
