    Abstract: A motor control system to be applied to robotic technology, the motor control system comprising at least two actuators that each include a first receiver and a second receiver. The system is comprised of a movement control system that communicates a first signal to the first receivers, the first signal indicative of a movement profile; and a stabilization control system that communicates a second signal to the second receivers, the second signal indicative of a stabilizing profile. The stabilizing profile produces mechanical forces that are to some degree antagonistic to the mechanical forces of the movement profile, and the actuators are mechanically arranged in a way that such antagonism can take place. The function of the stabilization system may include controlling overall stability, local stability, and/or local accuracy/precision/speed of movement, and may be implemented on a feedforward and/or feedback basis.
