Computed Torque Control

A model-based control strategy that uses the robot's inverse dynamics model to compute the joint torques required for a desired trajectory, then adds PD feedback to correct tracking errors. It linearizes the nonlinear robot dynamics, enabling the use of linear control design. Accuracy depends on the quality of the dynamics model (mass, inertia, friction parameters).
