The present paper will impose a driving strategy for a particular nonlinear system, for example for a robot consists of a single segment, which has a flexible hinge. Transmission is more accurate, with a line size of the input provided by engine torque. Because of the robot arm speed can not be measured accurately one estimate the desired state through an Observer system. System that is intende...

Flexible manipulator robots have a wide industrial application. Robot performance requires sensing its position and orientation adequately, known as forward kinematics. Commercially available, motion controllers use high-resolution optical encoders to sense the position of each joint which cannot detect some mechanical deformations that decrease the accuracy of the robot position and orientatio...

This paper presents a novel and improved technique in manual control of flexible systems. Flexible systems, when subject to a rapid movement commanded by a human operator, exhibit severe oscillation, causing low positioning accuracy, high fatigue to the human operator, and unsafe accidents. Input shaping filter was proposed to reduce this oscillation by using the destructive interference princi...

In this paper, a method for suppressing residual vibrations in flexible payloads, carried by robot manipulators, is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The proposed method is based on the preconditioning of the robot joint trajectories using FIR digital filters. Several classes of FIR filters such as: a) Parks-McClellan, b) Window-based methods (using Hamming, Hanning, Boxcar, Kaiser, Bar...

Current industrial robots are made very heavy to achieve high Stiffness which increases the accuracy of their motion. However this heaviness limits the robot speed and in masses the required energy to move the system. The requirement for higher speed and better system performance makes it necessary to consider a new generation of light weight manipulators as an alternative to today's massive in...

Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...

The design of inversion-based nonlinear control laws solving the problem of accurate trajectory tracking for robot arms having flexible links is considered. It is shown that smooth joint trajectories can always be exactly reproduced preserving internal stability of the closed-loop system. The interaction between the Lagrangian/assumed modes modeling approach and the complexity of the resulting ...
