A Positive-Real Design for Robotic Manipulators

In this paper, we show that feedback-linearization in conjunction with the passivity property of rigid robots can guarantee the robustness of the closed-loop robotic system despite large uncertainties in the inertia matrix. The approach may be extended to the case of uncertain velocity-dependent terms under additional assumptions.
