Abstract Multilayered neural networks have found widespread use in the identification and control of dynamic systems. This study considers modeling issues for two time scale systems using neural networks for reliably estimating gradients for on-line control purposes. A structure for identification of a single link flexible arm is proposed and preliminary results are presented.

Control of a flexible beam such as that in flexible-link robot manipulators in many mechanical devices is very challenging, due in part to its intrinsic nature of unmodelled dynamics in a system. Such a system is said to be subjected to nonholonomic constraints, hence its feedback control is difficult to realize. This paper presents the application of control design based on second-order pole placement and LQR approaches to a single-link flexible robotic arm. In this case, a controller considering the flexibility of highly-flexible arm is employed to suppress the tip vibration of the manipulator. The effectiveness of the method is verified through computer simulations and consequently, the adequateness of the control performance and the feasibility of the system with a super-light link are shown.

This paper shows the effectiveness of a neural-network controller for controlling a flexible mechanism such as a flexible robot arm. An adaptive-type direct neural controller is formulated using state-space representation of the dynamics of the target system. The characteristics of the controller are experimentally investigated by using it to control the tip angular position of a single-link flexible arm.

We deal with the online identification of the payload mass carried by a single-link flexible arm that moves on a vertical plane and therefore is affected by the gravity force. Specifically, we follow a frequency domain design methodology to develop an algebraic identifier. This identifier is capable of achieving robust and efficient mass estimates even in the presence of sensor noise. In order to highlight its performance, the proposed estimator is experimentally tested and compared with other classical methods in several situations that resemble the most typical operation of a manipulator.

SUMMARYThis paper focuses on the implementation of a dual-mode controller for the maneuver of a single link flexible robotic arm. The joint angle trajectory tracking is accomplished by a proportional and derivative PD and a feedforward controller. Based on the pole placement technique, a linear stabilizer is designed for elastic mode stabilization. The stabilizer is switched on when the trajectory reaches the vicinity of the terminal state, and the effect of switching time on arm vibration is investigated. An optical deflection sensor is used for on-line measurements of elastic deflections, and also used for the prediction of the static deflection of the arm in the target position. The robustness of the linear stabilizer at varying pay loads is presented.
