Summary

Operational space control of industrial robots is addressed in this document. We analyze a two-loop hierarchical control with the resolved motion rate controller (RMRC) as outer loop and the joint velocity PI controller as inner loop; the latter is the typical velocity controller used in industrial robots. We prove, by the first time, that these simple controllers make the solutions of the closed-loop system uniformly ultimately bounded. Additionally, we give some simple guidelines for the selection of the control gains so as to ensure an explicit bound of the tracking error.
