Abstract

Operational problems with robot manipulators in space relate to several factors, one most importantly being structural flexibility and subsequently significant difficulties with the control systems, especially, position control. A control strategy is devised for positioning the endpoint of a two-link robot manipulator modeled with assumed modes flexible dynamics repetitively tracking a square trajectory. The dominant assumed modes of vibration are determined for Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beam boundary conditions then, coupled with the nonlinear dynamics for rigid links to fonn an Euler-Lagrange inverse flexible dynamics robot model. A Jacobian transpose control law actuates the robot links. While repetitive tracking alone achieves no improvement in control precision, adapting the control law by a fuzzy logic system achieves consistent tracking precision.
