Learning control of robot manipulators in the presence of additive disturbances

In this paper, a learning controller for robot manipulators is developed. The controller is proven to yield in a semi-global asymptotic result in the presence of additive input and output disturbances. Lyapunov-based techniques are used to guarantee that the tracking error is asymptotically driven to zero. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the viability of the proposed learning controller.
