            Abstract : 
The aim of this paper is to study the force/position tracking problem of robot manipulators using the well-known hybrid/position control approach. It is shown that the robot system is closed-loop stable and that the desired force can always be reached. A systematic procedure of control synthesis is presented and stability conditions for the control parameters are derived. No velocity measurements are assumed to be available, so that a nonlinear observer is proposed.
