Control of a Flexible Arm for Prescribed Frequency Domain Tolerances: Modelling, Controller Design, Laboratory Experiments

  • Chapter
Robotic Systems

Abstract

In this article we solve the problem of achieving quantitative specifications for the tip of a rotating flexible beam with uncertainty in some of its (physical and geometric) parameters. The frequency domain design method used here is also helpful in clarifying some limitations on the feedback loop capabilities due to the distributed nature of the problem. Finally, time domain simulations and laboratory experiments confirm the validity of the design method suggested in this work.
