Abstract: The adaptive control of multiple robot manipulators handling a dynamic object motion of which is constrained by the dynamic environment, when object and/or environment parameters are not known in advance, is proposed. It may be implemented when: (i) there is no good \Ulderstanding of all physical effects incorporated in the multiple robotslobject/enviroIWlent system; (ii) the parameters of the system are not precisely known; (iii) the system parameters do vary in a knOVYll. regions about their nominal values.

force in the object, i.e., to regulate the forces which are applied by one manipulator against the others, through the object, that do not contribute to the object motion; (ii) possibility to minimize external requirements (like time or power requirements); (iii) the workspace of multiple robots is always larger than the workspace of only one. However, the addition of a second manipulator, or several manipulators, leads to a complex system since the motion of the multiple robot anns must be kinematicaIly and dynamically coordinated.
1. INTRODUcrrON
The problem addressed in this article is the synthesis of an adaptive control of multiple compliant manipulation on dynamical environment. Important advantages of multiple manipulator system are: (i) possibility to regulate the internal force in the object, Le., to regulate the forces which are applied by one manipulator against the others., through the obj ect, that do not contribute to the object motion; (ii) possibility to minimize external requirements (like time or power requirements); (ill) the workspace of multiple robots is always larger than the workspace of only one. Only a few papers consider the problem of multiple robot compliant manipulation on dynamic object (Yoshlkawa and Umeno, 1992, Luo et al., 1993, Yukawa et al., 1993), and several adaptive control methods for multiple manipulators in the contact tasks were proposed (Hu and Goldenberg, 1993, Su and Stepanenko, 1993, Yao et al., 1992a, 1993b).
The adaptive control law synthesized here has the following characteristics: (i) it may be implemented when there is uncertainty in the system parameters and they do vary in a known regions about their nominal values; (H) it is composed of an identification part (parameter update law), and a control law part; (ill) in deriving the adaptive control law, the inverse dynamics controller structure is adopted. Based on the Lyap\UloV stability theory a proof that the proposed adaptive controller is asymptotically stable is presented.
Important advantages of multiple manipulator system are: (i) possibility to regulate the internal

2. SYSTEM: MODEL AND TASK SETTING
The whole system consists of k robots with rigid joints, a dynamical tool or object, and a constraint dynamical environment. The coordinated robots have to simultaneously: (i) move the object along a predetennined known trajectory on the constraint eviromnent; (ii) exert a prespecified contact force on the environment; (ill) keep the value of the internal force between a certain minimum and maximum. In order to facilitate the formulation of the system dynamics, the following reasonable assumptions are made: (i) the dynamic object which is manipulated by the k -endeffectors has any size and/or geometrical shape. It has equivalent dynamic characteristics in all contact points with the robot end-effectors; (ii) the constraint environment is fixed; (iii) each robotic mechanism is non-redWldant and all coordinated robots have the same number ofjoints. The manipulated object has k connections with the multiple manipulators and one connection with the constraint environment. The manipulated object together with (k + 1) connections can be represented by a dynamic system of (k + 1) rigid bodies (Fig. 1), that is, each of the k connections between the manipulated object and the k manipulators can be represented as a local rigid body, and in the mass center of each local rigid body contact. gravitational, damping and elasticity forces act as external forces:

system of (k + 1) bodies, and they are moving from the unloaded state. Using the Lagrange equations of motion, the mathematical model of multiple nonredundant rigid robot manipulators perfonning cooperative work on a single dynamical object of which the motion is constraIDed by a dynamical environment has been derived (Vukobratovic and Tuneski, 1997a). Here, the equations describing the multiple compliant manipulation model are briefly reported:

The proof of the theorem is given in Appendix A.
Adaptive control of multiple autonomous nonredundant robot manipulators with rigid joints handling one dynamic object motion of which is constrained by a dynamic environment is synthesized.. The manipulator dynamics, the object dynamics and the environment dynamics are taken into consideration, together with the material constraints imposed on the system (contact conditions between multiple robots and object and between object and environment), and program constraints (specified internal forces, contact forces, object motion). The object which is held by the k robot end-effectors makes a frictional point contact on the constraint environment. The robot and/or object parameters are assumed to be unknown and they are identified in the control synthesis process . The proposed adaptive control law ensures movement of the object along a predetennined known trajectory on the constraint environment, while simultaneously exerting a prespecified contact force unto the environment. The main contribution of this paper is that the adaptive coordinated control of multiple robot manipulators handling a dynamic object motion of which is constrained by the dynamic environment, when object and/or environment parameters are not kno'Wn in advance, is proposed. Based on Lyapunov stability theory a proof that the proposed adaptive controller is asymptotically stable is presented. The convergence of the unknown system parameters to their true values has been proved. The problem addressed in this paper may be further investigated in the following ways: (i) it is of practical interest to investigate the conditions for practical stability of the multiple robots around the desired position and force trajectories. The practical stability is defined by specifying the finite regions around the desired position and force trajectories within which multiple robots actual position and velocity, as well as contact forces, have to be during the task execution. In the constrained motion control tasks the practical stability is often more appropriate than the classical asymptotic/exponential stability since when the model and parameter uncertainties do not expire with time (although being constrained), the practical stability enables to consider effects of these uncertainties which cannot guarantee asymptotic/exponential stability of the system at all, but can fulfill practical stability conditions. So in the constrained motion tasks the practical stability requirements are more relaxed and more appropriate from a practical point of view than the asymptotic/exponential stability conditions.
