An adaptive impedance controller for robot manipulators in task space

This paper develops an adaptive impedance controller for robot end-effectors performing tasks in Cartesian space, which does not require any knowledge of either the structure or the parameters of the manipulator dynamic and is implemented without calculation of the robot inverse kinematic transformation. The scheme is computationally efficient and is implementable with both nonredundant and redundant manipulators.
