A flexible manipulator can move in the high speed even with the small driving torque. The dymanic equations of flexible manipulator which include 2 vibrational modes are derived using the clamped-free boundary condition. Simulation results of the 6th order model are well matched with experimental results. The hub angle of the flexible mainpulator can be controlled without vibration of the beam by the feedback of both hub angle and strain. The overshoot of the hub angle in the step response is reduced without sacrificing the rise time using the cycloidal function instead of the step function as the referenmce input.
