Tracking control of flexible robot arms

Abstract

A controller for solving the tracking problem of flexible robot arms with revolute joints is presented. In order to achieve this goal, the desired trajectory for the link (the flexible) coordinates is computed from the model of the robot arm. while the desired one for the joint (the rigid) coordinates can be assigned arbitrarily. The case of no structural damping is also considered.
