Abstract

Presented in this paper is a method for controlling vibrations of a redundant flexible-joint manipulator. The main idea behind this method is to utilize joint redundancy to minimize the change in the manipulator inertia, so that a simple gain-fixed control law can be used to control joint vibrations. For this purpose, two optimal joint trajectory generators are proposed; one is based on the extended Jacobian method and the other is based on an optimization technique. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
