Abstract

In this study we consider the stability problem of a rigid robot with time-delay in feedback. We consider delayed signals in state and output feedbacks. As demonstrated, the appearance of time-delays in the feedback loop is critical. In fact, even a relatively small time-delay may generate the destructive phenomenon of a finite escape time. In this regard some useful structural properties of the system are studied for synthesizing state and output stabilizing feedbacks in the presence of time-delays, and related features like the estimated region of attraction and the system rate of convergence, are considered.
