Abstract

A new simple method for controlling compliant motions of a flexible robot arm is presented. The method aims at controlling translational tip motion, force and moment by directly computing the base motion or torque. A numerical inversion of Laplace transform is used to obtain the results in the time domain. The results show the effectiveness of the method for the hybrid translational position/force control of a flexible robot arm.
