Abstract

In this article, an force control scheme for flexible link manipulators is considered. The control output is composed of a feedforward and a feedback term. The feedforward torque component is based upon the underlying rigid arm dynamics along the desired trajectory. The feedback controller structure corresponds to an on-line Linear Quadratic Regulator. The effects of joint coordinate versus end-point sensing, environment impedance, input preshaping, and sampling time on the transient response are investigated. The proposed control scheme is employed in simulation studies on a two link rigid-flexible manipulator.
