Dynamic trajectory tracking control of flexible manipulator macro-micro manipulator system

Abstract

A macro-micro manipulator system has been proposed with the purpose of overcoming the difficulty to realize a trajectory tracking control of a flexible manipulator. In this paper, a trajectory tracking controller of macro-micro manipulator system is proposed which takes the dynamics of the system into consideration. This control law consists of a simple PD feedback law for the macro flexible manipulator and a dynamic trajectory tracking control law for the micro rigid manipulator. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.< >
