-
Independent Joint Control and Multivariable Control of Robots
-
Force Control
-
Feedback Linearisation
-
Variable Structure and Adaptive Control, Sliding Mode Control
-
Model Predictive Control (MPC)
-
Adaptive Backstepping Techniques
-
Multivariable Robust Control (H-Infinity)
-
Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT)
-
Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI)
