Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the control of a two degree of freedom flexible arm. The objective is to develop a control algorithm that allows to follow some prespecified reference trajectories. Based on a linear two inputs-two outputs model, the control law proposed should cope with the flexibilities and the couplings between the two links for reasonable displacements. To this end, a long range predictive control with a precompensator is used to decouple with stability and to compensate for the vibration modes. Some experimental results on the flexible arm are given.
