This paper proposes a tracking control method of sinusoidal motions utilizing stiffness adjustment of mechanical elastic elements for serial link systems. Although dynamics of the controlled objects is nonlinear, the stiffness adjustment realize a condition similar to a resonance of linear systems. We present a controller that adjusts stiffness of the elastic elements to reduce torque requirement of actuators while generating desired motions. The proposed controller works without using dynamics models nor parameters of the controlled objects. Stability of the controller is proved, and tracking errors are guaranteed to converge to a certain region. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. We also present an application of the proposed method to power assist systems.
