Dynamic modeling and adaptive control of a single-link flexible manipulator

Abstract

Translate Article

This paper presents an application of model reference adaptive control to the position and vibration control of a single-link flexible manipulator. A distributed mass model of the flexible link has been analyzed using the method of modal expansion. The performance of the system with various control schemes has been investigated. It has been demonstrated that effective position/vibration control of a flexible manipulator is achieved by model reference adaptive control.
