In this paper we shall examine the adaptive control of rigid link manipulator systems. We give a parameterization of a genereal rigid body which yields dynamic equations that are linear in the unknown parameters. Standard linear estimation techniques together with an adaptive computed torque control law are shown to give a globally convergent adaptive system which does not require measurements of accelerations or additional torques.
