Force measurement time-delays and contact instability phenomenon (Q1817707): Difference between revisions

The paper starts with some models in robot mechanics and control. The main mathematical problem is to guarantee stability of the neutral functional differential equation in the form \[ \dot x(t)+ (\lambda_1-1)\dot x(t-\tau)= -\lambda_2x_2(t- \tau). \] The resolution is then computed in steps and some estimates are given.
