Dynamic Modeling and Adaptive Robust Synchronous Control of Parallel Robotic Manipulator for Industrial Application by Haiqiang Zhang, Hairong Fang, Qi Zou, Dan Zhang

“…The three proposed controllers can theoretically guarantee the errors including trajectory tracking errors, synchronization errors, and cross-coupling errors asymptotically converge to zero for a given trajectory, and the estimated unknown parameters can also approximately converge to their actual values in the presence of unmodeled dynamics and external uncertainties. Moreover, all the simulation comparative results were presented to illustrate that the adaptive robust synchronous high-frequency controller possess a much superior comprehensive performance than two other controllers.…”
