Abstract

This entry presents an introduction to computed-torque control, a well-established model-based motion control approach for robotic manipulators, which can be seen as a special case of inverse dynamics control. Extensions of computed-torque control (i.e., the so-called computed-torque like control schemes) are then briefly discussed. Application examples and future directions for research are discussed at the end of the entry.
