Dynamic Model and Intelligent Optimal Controller of Flexible Link Manipulator System with Payload Uncertainty

There is a high interest in research for using flexible link manipulators in industrial robots as flexible link manipulators are more advantageous than heavy and rigid link manipulators. However, flexible link manipulators still have a critical problem of less accuracy due to their tip vibration. Thus, this research contributes to this topic by obtaining a mathematical model and proposing an intelligent optimal controller for a single-flexible...
