In this paper, an exact reshaping method for the motor dynamics of a flexible-joint robot is proposed using an integral manifold approach. Obtaining the exact model for both motor-side and link-side dynamics of a flexible-joint robot is difficult due to its under-actuated nature and complex dynamics. Despite the simple structure of the motor-side dynamics, they are difficult to model accurately for a flexible-joint robot due to motor disturbances, especially when speed reducers such as harmonic drives are installed. An integral manifold feedback control (IMFC) is proposed to reshape the motor dynamics. Based on the integral manifold approach, it is theoretically proved that the IMFC reshapes motor dynamics exactly even with bounded disturbances such as motor friction. The performance of the proposed IMFC is verified experimentally using a single degree-of-freedom flexible-joint robot under gravity conditions.

A robust input modification approach to the control of flexible joint robot is presented. In our previous study, we developed an observer based state feedback control for the suppression of residual vibration of a robot. The control was very effective in suppressing the inherent vibration of a flexible joint robot. However it did not meet high performance requirements under high speed motion and model uncertainties. As a solution of the problem, we present an input modification method with robustness against parametric uncertainties. The main idea of the proposed input modification method is to generate a modified reference position command for fast and accurate motion of the robot. Using this proposed method we can reduce the servo delay and settling time by about 60% and substantially improve the path accuracy.

This paper presents an adaptive control scheme for flexible joint robot manipulators. This control scheme is based on the Lyapunov direct method with the arm energy-based Lyapunov function. The proposed adaptive control scheme uses only the position and velocity feedback of link and motor shaft. The adaptive control system of flexible joint robots is asymptotically stable regardless of the joint flexibility value. Therefore, the assumption of weak joint ealsticity is not needed. Also, joint flexibility value is unknown. Simulation results are presented to show the feasibility of the proposed adaptive control scheme.

In this paper, we prpose a method for tracking optimally a spatial trajectory of the end-effector of flexible robot arms with multiple joints. The proposed method finds joint trajectories and joint torques necessary to produce the desired end-effector motion of flexible manipulator. In inverse kinematics, optimized joint trajectories are computed from elastic equations. In inverse dynamics, joint torques are obtained from the joint euqations by using the optimized joint trajectories. The equations of motion using finite element method and virtual work principle are employed. Optimal control is applied to optimize joint trajectories which are computed in inverse kinematics. The simulation result of a flexible planar manipulator is presented.

This paper presents the implementation of fuzzy PI gain scheduling controller (FPICGS) for controlling flexible joint robot arms with uncertainties from time-varying load. The term FPICGS is called based on a combination of fuzzy PI control scheme with a set of rule bases. Principle of design for a FPICGS is given along with the implementation of the designed computer aided control system. The experiment reveals an effectiveness of the proposed control scheme for flexible joint robot arms driven by a DC motorhooked with a spring which both parameters are completely unknown parameters ...

An adaptive fuzzy backstepping controller is proposed for the motion control for a single-link flexible-joint robot in the presence of parametric uncertainties. Fuzzy logic system is used to approximate the uncertainties of functions and a backstepping technique is employed to deal with the mismatched problem. A compensation controller is also employed to estimates the bound of approximation error so that the shattering effect of the control effort can be reduced. Thus the asymptotic stability of the closed loop control system can be obtained based on a Lyapunov synthesis approach. Numerical simulation results for a single-link flexible-joint robot are included to show the effectiveness of proposed controller.

Increasing requirements for the high quality of industrial robot performance made the vibration control issue very important because the vibration makes it difficult to achieve quick response of robot motion and may bring mechanical damage to the robot. This paper presents the vibration mechanism of an industrial robot which has flexible joints. The joint flexibility of the robot is modeled as a two-mass system and its dynamic characteristics are analysed. And some characteristics of the two-mass system, especially for the joint of industrial robots, such as disturbance, non-linearity and time-varying characteristics are studied. And finally, some considerations on controller design for the flexible joint of industrial robots are discussed.

최근에 유연관절로봇의 제어는 로봇시스템에 있어서 다양한 적용가능성이 증가하고 있기 때문에 점점 그 중요성이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유연관절로봇의 제어에 있어서 적분슬라이딩모드제어기와 백스테핑제어기법을 도입하여 강인성을 증가시키는 방법을 제안한다. 슬라이딩모드제어기를 사용하여 강인성을 향상시키기 위해서는 제어대상이 정합조건을 만족시켜야 하는데 유연관절로봇은 이 조건을 만족시키지 못한다. 유연관절로봇은 링크측과 모터측으로 나누어 생각할 수 있고 각 측에 외란이 존재하나 실제입력은 모터측에 존재하기 때문에 링크측 외란은 정합조건을 만족시킬 수 없으므로 슬라이딩모드제어기로 제거하기가 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 백스테핑을 도입하여 이러한 비정합 문제를 해결함으로써 링크측 외란의 영향을 제거할 수 있도록 한다. 이와 더불어 임피던스제어 성능을 가질 수 있도록 적분슬라이딩모드제어기를 함께 사용한다.

This paper presents a new stable composite control law for the flexible joint robot manipulators, which incorporate the additional stabilizing control law with sliding property. The singularly perturbated models include inertia moments functions of the deformations of actuator. The newly defined fast controller variable is computed from the corrected reduced-order model without additional computational loads. The simulations for 2 DOF flexible joint manipulator show that the proposed schemes are more stable than conventional one, and especially effective for the manipulator with high joint-flexibilities.
