The flexibility of a manipulator inevitably yields vibration at the end effector. In this work, position and vibration control for a flexible robot arm was studied using a separate voice coil type actuator to raise the accuracy and speed of end tip. A flexible robot arm with a tip mass is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. An $H_$\infty$$ controller is adapted to get a robust control against unmodeled higher-order mode vibration, output sensor noise, and etc. Simulations and experiments show that the modeling of the system is acceptable and robust vibration control is also achieved.

A human operator has the ability to control a complicated system such as a gantry crane, an aircraft and a remote manipulator after enough training and learning. In this article, we attempt the positioning experiment of a flexible arm by a human operator. Flexible arm has nonlinearlity and infinite-degrees of freedom in general; thus it is difficult to obtain a control input. The operator interprets a given task and finds the procedure of operations. He devises an effective way of achieving the goal on the basis of his experience and knowledge about the task.

This paper presents a GA-fuzzy $P^2ID$ control system for the flexible-joint robot arm. This controller is designed based on the parameter adjustment using fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms. According to the simulations, the better performance has been achieved acquired that the robot moved smoothly and met its required objectives. The results of comparison between 8 parameters and 10 parameters can be conclusion that the 10 parameters have setting time little than 8 parameters. In usability can be use 8 or 10 parameters these one.

A simulation analysis is presented for the position control of a single-link flexible manipulator whose end-effector is subjected to an impulsive force. Arm is rotated by a d.c. servomotor at the shoulder so that the end point stays precisely at its initial position even if the end effector is thumped with the impulsive loading. A gap sensor is used to measure the tip displacement. The control torque based on the PD control law is applied to the motor through the driver circuit. The control strategy is tested by means of computer simulation for the one-link flexible-arm prototype in the authers' laboratory at Tohoku Univ.

In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant control system for the position control and vibration suppression of a flexible arm robot. The proposed control system has a strain gauge sensor signal observer based on a reaction force observer and detects a fault by monitoring an estimated error. In order to improve the estimation accuracy, the plant parameters included in the sensor signal observer are updated by using the strain gauge sensor signal in normal time through the adaptive law. After fault detection, the proposed control system exchanges the faulty sensor signal for the estimated one and switches to a fault mode controller so as to maintain the stability and the control performance. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed control system through several experiments.

In this paper, an output feedback is used to reduce the effect of the vibration in the control of a flexible one-link robot arm. A PD control method with a time varying gain is proposed to improve the performance of the system in tip deflection and settling time for the step reference input. By making the change of feedback gain smoothly, th input torque can be made smooth. When there is a payload with unknown mass, an interpolation method which uses the inrehgrated value of the transient response of the hub angle is proposed for the estimation of teh payload mass. This method can be used when the reference input is known and we can get highly accurate estimate for the unknown payload. It is also demonstrated that flexible one-link arm can be controlled prettry accurately by an output feedback in a noisy environment without knowing the mass of the payload.

This study proposes a new approach to design of the robust control application of a mobile manipulator with dual-arm. The mobil manipulator robot system consists of 12 DOF manipulators and a mobile robot. Kinematics of the robotics has been analyzed and simulated to verify reliability. A position-based torque control technique is applied to the robot by adding an outer loop to interact with the environment. Experimental studies of torque control applications of robot arm and interaction with a user operator are conducted. Experimental results has been proved that the robot arm performed regulated to follow the desired reference.

The objective of this paper is to design a robust controller for a flexible robot arm manipulator using LMI(Linear Matrix Inequality) theory, and confirm its effectiveness through experimentation. We first describe a modeling Process of the flexible arm in order to get a mathematical model, and then discuss how to approximately obtain the uncertainty of the model for robust control. As to the control system design, we adopt the LMI-based H$_{\infty}$ synthesis algorithm which has the merits of eliminating the regularity restrictions attached to the Riccati-based methods. As a result of this, we can cope with the parameter variation (that is, modeling uncertainty) due to the tip-load variation. Finally we confirm the effectiveness of the controller through experiment and simulation.

This paper presents a hybrid actuator scheme to actively control the end-point position and vibration of a two-link flexible robot arm. Control scheme consists of four different actuators; two servo-motors at the hubs and two piezoceramics bonded to the surfaces of the flexible links. Two sliding hyperplanes are designed for two servo-motors which have time varying parameters to maintain control performance in any configuration. The surface gradients of the hyperplanes are determined by pole assignment technique to guarantee the stability on the hyperplanes themselves. During the motion, undesirable oscillations caused by the torques based on the rigid link dynamics are actively suppressed by applying feedback control voltages to the piezoceramic actuators. Consequently, desired tip motion is achieved. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, experiments are performed for the regulating and tracking control problems.

This is a study of the translational end-point control of a single link flexible arm-with a tip mass. The beam is mounted on a translational mechanism driven by the ball screw, whose rotation is controlled by DC servomotor. The problem of shifting the end-point from its initial position to the commanded position is studied analytically both for the open-loop control subjected to some path functions and for the closed-loop control using the feedback of the tip information.
