Fuzzy robust backstepping with estimation for the control of a robot manipulator

In this study, a new fuzzy robust backstepping controller with estimation is proposed for the control of a robot manipulator. Backstepping control is preferred because the Lyapunov function that is used in stability analysis and the feedback control law that is used for control purpose are defined systematically during controller design. Fuzzy logic units are designed to update the gains of the backstepping controller. Then, the proposed...
