On Global Regulatability of Robot Manipulators by Classical PID

A long-standing open problem in robot manipulator control is whether global regulation can be achieved by classical PID control. This paper provides an answer to this question for classical PID controllers with triple parameters (k_p,k_i,k_d) in R^3. We find and prove that for one-degree-of-freedom manipulators, the cl...
