A two-stage control scheme of single-link flexible manipulators

A new control scheme composed of two independent stages utilised to achieve precise positioning of single-link flexible manipulators is presented herein. Traditional techniques for the control of single-link flexible manipulators utilise only one actuator and two types of sensor measurement (e.g the angular position of the motor and acceleration or strain measurements) to move the manipulator and in order to damp the residual vibrations produced...
