CONTROL OF FLEXIBLE JOINT ROBOT MANIPULATORS BY COMPENSATING FLEXIBILITY
Authors
Abstract:
A flexible-joint robot manipulator is a complex system because it is nonlinear, multivariable, highly coupled along with joint flexibility and uncertainty. To overcome flexibility, several methods have been proposed based on flexible model. This paper presents a novel method for controlling flexible-joint robot manipulators. A novel control law is presented by compensating flexibility to form a rigid robot and then control methods for rigid robots are applied. Feedback linearization and direct adaptive fuzzy control, based on rigid model, are designed with torque control strategy. A decentralized adaptive fuzzy controller is designed because of simplicity and ease of implementation. Effectiveness of the proposed control approach is demonstrated by simulations, using a three-joint articulated flexible-joint robot, driven by permanent magnet dc motors.

Experimental Control of Flexible Robot Manipulators
Flexible-link robotic manipulators are mechanical devices whose control can be rather challenging, among other reasons because of their intrinsic under-actuated nature. This chapter presents various experimental studies of diverse robust control schemes for this kind of robotic arms. The proposed designs are based on several control strategies with well defined theoretical foundations whose eff...

Force control is very important for many practical manipulation tasks of robot manipulators, such as, assembly, grinding, deburring that associate with interaction between the end-effector of the robot and the environment. Force control of the robot manipulator can be break down into two categories: Position/Force Hybrid Control and Impedance Control. The former is focused on regulation of both...
full textA New Model for Flexible-joint Robot Manipulators
We propose a new model for robot manipulators with rigid links and flexible joints. Our model is expressed in Cartesian dependent coordinates which represent the positions, orientations and velocities of the links and the rotors, as opposed to independent generalized coordinates in which classical “Lagrangian” models are defined. The model consists of a set of dynamics equations and holonomic c...

Optimal discrete-time control of linear systems has been presented already. There are some difficulties to design an optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulator since the robot manipulator is highly nonlinear and uncertain. This paper presents a novel robust optimal discrete-time control of electrically driven robot manipulators for performing repetitive tasks. The robot performs repetit...
