    abstract = {This study presents a disturbance observer based tracking control for robotic manipulators. The tracking control problem is formulated as a disturbance rejection problem, with the mechanical nonlinearities, unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances lumped into the disturbance term. The global stability of the composite controller and observer is guaranteed, this result is based on Lyapunov theory. In simulation, the tracking control of a two link manipulator is used as an example to verify the proposed algorithm, when the Coulomb and Viscous friction is considered as an external disturbance.}
