Abstract

Robot control is one of the key aspects of robotics research. Models are essential tools in robotics, such as the robot’s own body dynamics and kinematics models, actuator/motor models, and the models of external controllable objects. In this paper, we review the latest advances in model-based and model-free ap-proaches with a strong focus on robot control. Based on the designed search strategy, several prevailing control approaches are classified and discussed ac-cording to their control strategies. An insight into the gripper control is also explored. Then the research problems and applicability of the control methods are discussed by investigating their merits and demerits. Based on the discussion, we summarize the challenges and future research trends of robot control.
