N2 - Feedback Linearization (FL) allows the best control
performance in executing a desired motion task when an accurate
dynamic model of a fully actuated robot is available. However,
due to residual parametric uncertainties and unmodeled dynamic
effects, a complete cancellation of the nonlinear dynamics by
feedback is hardly achieved in practice. In this paper, we summarize a novel learning framework aimed at improving online
the torque correction necessary for obtaining perfect cancellation
with a FL controller, using only joint position measurements. We
extend then this framework to the class of underactuated robots
controlled by Partial Feedback Linearization (PFL), where we
simultaneously learn a feasible trajectory satisfying the boundary
conditions on the desired motion while improving the associated
tracking performance.
