Description
Summary:This paper presents resonant control of a single-link flexible manipulator based on the resonant modes frequencies of the system. A flexible manipulator system is a single-input multi-output (SIMO) system with motor torque as an input and hub angle and the tip deflection as outputs. The previous system which is modeled using the finite element method is considered, and the resonant modes of the system are determined. Two negative feedback controllers are used to control the system. The inner feedback control loop designed using the resonant frequencies adds damping to the system and suppress the vibration effect around the hub angle. For the outer feedback control loop, a proportional integral controller is designed to achieve a zero steady state error so that a precise tip positioning can be achieved. Simulation results are presented and discussed to show the effectiveness of the resonant control scheme.
