Abstract: In this paper, we present a modelling, dynamic analysis, and controller tuning comparison for a five-degree-of-freedom (DoF) multi-joint robotic arm based on the Lyapunov-based Adaptive Controller (LAC). In most pick-and-place applications of robotic arms, it is essential to control the end-effector trajectory to reach a precise target position. The kinematic solution of the 5-DoF robotic arm has been determined by the Lagrangian technique, and the mathematical model of each joint has been obtained in the range of motion condition. The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control parameters of the LAC have been determined by the Lyapunov stability approach and are initialised by four observation methods based on the obtained transfer function. The effectiveness of the initialised controller’s parameters is compared by a unit step response as the desired input of the controller system. As a result, the average error (AE) for Ziegler–Nichols is 6.6%, 83%, and 53% lower than for Pettit & Carr, Chau, and Bucz. The performance of LAC for the robotic arm model is validated in a virtual 3D model under a robot operating system environment. The results of root mean square error by LAC are 0.021 (rad) and 0.025 (rad) for joint 1 and joint 2, respectively, which indicate the efficiency of the proposed LAC strategy in reaching the predetermined trajectory and the potential of minimizing the controller tuning complexity.
