This note deals with the problem of controlling a simple one-degree-of-freedom (1-dof) juggling robot (a system that belongs to the class of nonsmooth hybrid complementary-slackness dynamical systems), when some physical parameters such as the object mass and the restitution coefficient are not exactly known. The proposed adaptive controller is based on so-called dead-beat viable controllers previously studied, in which the sequence of desired ''robot'' pre-impact velocities is suitably modified. The dynamics of a simple 1-dof hopper is shown to be controllable by the proposed control algorithm. Numerical simulations support the theoretical results.
