Abstract

In this paper a fuzzy controller for a flexible arm with one degree of freedom is presented. Goal of the control is to drive the manipulator to the position $\theta$0 avoiding the oscillations due the elasticity of the arm. The performances of the fuzzy controller are evaluated through a series of simulations that shows appreciable results both for the transient and the steady behaviour.
