Abstract Model based controllers have drastically improved robot performance, increasing task accuracy while reducing control effort. Nevertheless, all this was realized with a very strong assumption: the exact knowledge of the physical properties of both the robot and the environment that surrounds it. This assertion is often misleading: in fact modern robots are modeled in a very approximate way and, more important, the environment is almost never static and completely known. Also for systems very simple, such as robot manipulators, these assumptions are still too strong and must be relaxed. Many methods were developed which, exploiting previous experiences, are able to refine the nominal model: from classic identification techniques to more modern machine learning based approaches. Indeed, the topic of this thesis is the investigation of these data driven techniques in the context of robot control for trajectory tracking. In the first two chapters, preliminary knowledge is provided on both model based controllers, used in robotics to assure precise trajectory tracking, and model learning techniques. In the following three chapters, are presented the novelties introduced by the author in this context with respect to the state of the art: three works with the same premise (an inaccurate system modeling), an identical goal (accurate trajectory tracking control) but with small differences according to the specific platform of application (fully actuated, underactuated, redundant robots). In all the considered architectures, an online learning scheme has been introduced to correct the nominal feedback linearization control law. Indeed, the method has been primarily introduced in the literature to cope with fully actuated systems, showing its efficacy in the accurate tracking of joint space trajectories also with an inaccurate dynamic model. The main novelty of the technique was the use of only kinematics information, instead of torque measurements (in general very noisy), to online retrieve and compensate the ...
