  1. I refers to the minimum energy control that considers \(R_{\mathrm{a}}\) and \(R_{\mathrm{h}}\), while the numbers in the bracket denote the results that \(R_{\mathrm{h}} \rightarrow \infty\); II refers to the loss minimization control that only considers \(R_{\mathrm{a}}\); III refers to the computed torque control that considers \(R_{\mathrm{a}}\) and \(R_{\mathrm{h}}\)
