Online Algebraic Identification of the Payload Changes in a Single-Link Flexible Manipulator Moving under Gravity

چکیده
This paper presents a method for the on-line identification of the payload carried by a single-link flexible manipulator whose movement is constrained to the vertical plane. The vertical movement of the robot makes the effect of gravity not negligible, and determines therefore, the non-linear behaviour of the analysed system. The proposed estimator is based on the algebraic derivative approach in the frequency domain. The short period of time it takes for the algorithm to make an estimate, and its low computational burden make it suitable for real-time and adaptive control applications. The proposed estimator is experimentally tested in several situations carefully chosen to reproduce routine operations of the flexible manipulator.

This paper evaluates a new and simple controller design method based on QFT (quantitative feedback theory) for a two-link manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second is flexible. A piezoelectric patch is attached to the surface of the flexible link for vibration suppression of it. This system is modeled as a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems whose inputs are two...
متن کاملModelling and H2 control of a single-link flexible manipulator
The aim of this study is to investigate motion in the horizontal and the vertical planes of a single-link flexible manipulator. The manipulator is modelled including gravity terms, and it is verified experimentally that the horizontal and the vertical motions are decoupled for a cylindrically symmetrical link and payload. The mathematical model is used to design a mixed-sensitivity H2 controlle...
متن کاملNonlinear Stabilizing Controller for a Special Class of Single Link Flexible Joint Robots
Joint flexibility is a very important factor to consider in the controller design for robot manipulators if high performance is expected. Most of the research works on control of flexible-joint robots in literature have ignored the actuator dynamics to avoid complexity in controller design. The problem of designing nonlinear controller for a class of single-link flexible-joint robot manipulator...
