A Review Study on Flexible Link Manipulators

This paper presents a review on various studies of flexible link manipulators which cover mathematical modeling and control of single link, two link and multi-link manipulators. This review has shown that the effectiveness of some controls such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme alone and combined with Piezoelectric actuators (PZT), combination of robust nonlinear and fuzzy compensator, employing piezoelectric actuators by taking into...
