Title: Bond Graph Inverse Model Based Control of a Robotic Manipulator Author: D.W.Roberts, P.J.Gawthrop & D.J. Ballance Keywords: Abstract: The performance of robotic manipulators is improved by the use of inverse model based control techniques such as feedforward control or computed torque. The implementation of such control schemes is complicated, however, by the complex non-linear structure of the robotic equations of motion. This paper explores how the bond graph representation of a rigid, planar, rotational joint two-link manipulator may be modified to automatically produce the software required to implement a computed torque controller for an experimental manipulator. Results are given for both simulations and practical implementation.
