  • Abstract
    The authors present a new approach to robust control in end effector space. They review a method of analyzing robustness of nonredundant manipulators. The approach is extended to the case of kinematically redundant manipulators by introducing the redundancy as part of the manipulator states. It is shown that kinematic redundancy is useful in making manipulator controllers more robust
