A nonlinear dynamic model of the manipulator is obtained and a quasi-LPV model is derived. Since the quasi-LPV model has a large number of affine scheduling parameters and a large overbounding, parameter set mapping is used to reduce conservatism and complexity in controller design by finding tighter parameter regions with fewer scheduling parameters. Then, a polytopic LPV gain-scheduled controller is synthesized and implemented experimentally on an industrial robot for a trajectory tracking task. Comparison of results with a decentralized PD controller illustrates that the designed LPV controller improves the tracking error significantly. Moreover, it achieves a slightly better accuracy than a model-based inverse dynamics controller while being of lower complexity. ©2009 IEEE.en0743-15462009200974187423IEEETechnikIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.1109/CDC.2009.5400621Other
