Evolutionary computation approaches to tip position controller design for a two-link flexible manipulator Controlling multi-link flexible robots is very difficult compared rigid ones due to inter-link coupling, nonlinear dynamics, distributed link flexure and under-actuation. Hence, while designing controllers for such systems the controllers should be equipped with optimal gain parameters. Evolutionary Computing (EC) approaches such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO) are popular in achieving global parameter optimizations. In this paper we exploit these EC techniques in achieving optimal PD controller for controlling the tip position of a two-link flexible robot. Performance analysis of the EC tuned PD controllers applied to a two-link flexible robot system has been discussed with number of simulation results.

Abstract This paper presents the design of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) whose parameters are optimized by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO) for tip position control of a single link flexible manipulator. The proposed FLC is designed by minimizing the fitness function, which is defined as a function of tip position error, through GA and BFO optimization algorithms achieving perfect tip position tracking of the single link flexible manipulator. Then the tip position responses obtained by using both the above controllers are compared to suggest the best controller for the tip position tracking.

The Mathematical Model

The mathematical model of a single-link flexible manipulator is obtained by measuring transverse deflections in a rotating reference frame which is floating with respect to the link. The use of this particular frame, the rigidbody mode frame, enables one to obtain weakly coupled equations of motion. The size of the inertia coupling terms can be easily evaluated: these terms can be shown to be negligible thus leading to an essentially linear model. An example of optimal control of manipulator's tip position is numerically reproduced. The same controller is first applied to the mechanical model of the arm accounting for non-linear coupling and then to the linear model: the two responses are found to be very close to each other.

This paper deals with manipulator systems comprising a long-reach manipulator (LRM) with a short-reach dextrous manipulator (SRM) attached to its end. The former, due to its size, is assumed to have significant structural flexibility, while the latter is modeled as a rigid robot. The particular problem addressed is that of active damping, or vibration suppression, of the LRM by using SRM specifically for that purpose Such a scenario is envisioned for operations where the large manipulator is used to deploy the small robot and it is necessary to damp out vibrations in LRM prior to operating SRM. The proposed solution to the problem uses the reaction force from SRM to LRM as a control variable which allows to effectively decouple the controller design problems for the two manipulators. A two-stage controller is presented that involves first, determining the trajectory of the short manipulator required to achieve a desired damping wrench to the supporting flexible arm and subsequently, brings the small manipulator to rest. Performance of the active damping algorithm developed is illustrated with a six-degree-of-freedom rigid manipulator on a flexible mast. Comparison to an independent derivative joint controller is included. The paper also discusses how the proposed methodology can be extended to address other issues related to operation of long-reach manipulator systems.

A novel active suspension control design method is proposed for attenuating vibrations caused by road disturbance inputs in vehicle suspension systems. For the control algorithm, we propose an intelligent PD controller structure that effectively rejects online estimated disturbances. The main theoretical techniques used in this paper consist of an ultra-local model which replaces the mathematical model of quarter car system and a new algebraic estimator of unknown information. The measurement of only input and output variables of the plant is required for achieving the reference tracking task and the cancellation of unmodeled exogenous and endogenous perturbations such as roughness road variation, unpredictable variation of vehicle speed and load variation. The performance and robustness of the proposed active suspension algorithm are compared with ADRC control and LQR control. Numerical results are provided for showing the improvement of passenger comfort criteria with model-free control.

Control design of flexible robot manipulators can take advantage of the structural properties of the model used to describe the robot dynamics. Many of these properties are physical characteristics of mechanical systems whereas others arise from the method employed to model the flexible manipulator. In this paper, the modeling of flexible-link robot manipulators on the basis of the Lagrange’s equations of motion combined with the assumed modes method is briefly discussed. Several notable properties of the dynamic model are presented and their impact on control design is underlined.
