Abstract

In this paper, a new shape control law is derived as a result of introducing the parametric curve representation. This control alw is based on the estimation of the curve parameters corresponding to the target joint positions and the target tip position. Estimating target curve parameters makes it possible to find, easily, a simple shape control law by the Lyapunov design method.
