            Abstract : 
For robots with rotary and flexible joints, we consider a control design method based on the pseudo- -linearization technique. Nonlinear state feedback control laws and observer/state feedback control laws are derived. The method is illustrated by application to a two joint manipulator. The results, tested by simulation, are satisfactory.
