Abstract
This paper presents an investigation into the development of open-loop and closed-loop control strategies for flexible manipulator systems. Shaped torque inputs, including Gaussian-shaped and low-pass (Butter-worth and elliptic) filtered input torque functions, are developed and used in an open-loop configuration and their performance studied in comparison to a bang-bang input torque through experimentation on a single-link flexible manipulator system. Closed-loop control strategies that use both collocated (hub angle and hub velocity) and non-collocated (end-point acceleration) feedback are then proposed. A collocated proportional and derivative (PD) control is first developed and its performance studied through experimentation. The collocated control is then extended to incorporate, additionally, non-collocated feedback through a proportional integral derivative (PID) configuration. The performance of the hybrid collocated and non-collocated control strategy thus developed is studied through experimentation. Experimental results verifying the performance of the developed control strategies are presented and discussed.
