Summary :

Learning control is a new approach to the problem of skill refinement for robotic systems by repetitive training. A class of simple learning control algorithms with a forgetting factor and without use of the derivative of velocity signals for motion control of robot manipulators is proposed and the convergence property is discussed. The robustness of such a learning control scheme with respect to initialization errors, disturbances, and measurement noise is studied extensively. It is proved that motion trajectories converge to a neighborhood of the desired one and eventually remain in it. In the argument the passivity of robot dynamics and displacement robot dynamics plays a fundamental role. Relations of the size of attraction neighborhoods with the magnitudes of initialization errors and other disturbances are obtained, which suggests a rule for selection of the forgetting factor in the progress of learning. Based on these results, two classes of learning control called "interval training" and "selective learning" are proposed in order to accelerate the speed of convergence.
