7.9 Virtual Decomposition Based Control 191<br />

Figures 7.23 and 7.24 report the time history of the end-effector position<br />

and orientation errors. It can benoted that, since the trajectory is repeated<br />

4times in the first 16 seconds, after alarge initial error, the adaptive action<br />

can significantly reduce the tracking error. At steady state the errors tend to<br />

zero.<br />
