Design of an Error-Based Adaptive Controller for a Flexible Robot Arm Using Dynamic Pole Motion Approach

Figure 2

System responses to a unit-step input with two different locations of poles (i) underdamped case ( ) and (ii) overdamped case ( ). The desired system response curve initially follows the underdamped curve for large errors and then settles down to a steady-state value (following the overdamped curve) for decreasing errors.
