Abstract: | Recently, Udwadia (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 2003:1783–1800, 2003) suggested to derive tracking controllers for mechanical systems with redundant degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) using a generalization
of Gauss’ principle of least constraint. This method allows reformulating control problems as a special class of optimal controllers.
In this paper, we take this line of reasoning one step further and demonstrate that several well-known and also novel nonlinear
robot control laws can be derived from this generic methodology. We show experimental verifications on a Sarcos Master Arm
robot for some of the derived controllers. The suggested approach offers a promising unification and simplification of nonlinear
control law design for robots obeying rigid body dynamics equations, both with or without external constraints, with over-actuation
or underactuation, as well as open-chain and closed-chain kinematics.
