The flexible joint robot (FJR) typically experiences parametric variations, nonlinearities, underactuation, noise propagation, and external disturbances which
seriously degrade the FJR tracking. This article proposes
an adaptive integral sliding mode controller (AISMC) based
on a singular perturbation method and two state observers
for the FJR to achieve high performance. First, the underactuated FJR is modeled into two simple second-order fast
and slow subsystems by using Olfati transformation and
singular perturbation method, which handles underactuation while reducing noise amplification. Then, the AISMC
is proposed to effectively accomplish the desired tracking
performance, in which the integral sliding surface is designed to reduce cha
