Unconstrained and constrained motion control of a planar two-link structurally flexible robotic manipulator. (English) Zbl 0811.70019

From the summary: Unconstrained and constrained motion control of a planar two-link structurally-flexible robotic manipulator are considered. The dynamic model is obtained by using the extended Hamilton’s principle and the Galerkin criterion. A method is presented to obtain the linearized equations of motion in Cartesian space for use in designing the control system. The approach to solving the control problem is to use feedforward and feedback control torques. The feedforward torques maneuver the flexible manipulator along a nominal trajectory and the feedback torques minimize any deviations from the nominal trajectory. The feedforward and feedback torques are obtained by solving the inverse dynamics problem for the rigid manipulator and designing linear quadratic Gaussian with loop transfer recovery compensators, respectively.
