There is a high demand for developing effective controllers to perform fast and accurate
operations for either flexible link manipulators (FLMs) or rigid link manipulators (RLMs) …

Mathematical modelling plays an important role for robotic manipulators in order to design
their particular controllers. Also, it is hard challenge to obtain an accurate mathematical …

Gravity and flexibility will cause fluctuations of the rotation angle in the servo system for
flexible manipulators. The fluctuation will seriously affect the motion accuracy of end …

The length of flexible manipulators with a telescopic arm alters during movement. The
dynamic parameters of telescopic flexible manipulators exhibit significant time-varying …

A flexible link manipulator (FLM) has advantages of greater payload-to-manipulator-weight
ratio, safer operation, and lower energy consumption compared with the rigid manipulator …

Motion-induced oscillations of the flexible single link and its payload at the tip have negative
impact on the anticipated performance of the flexible manipulators and thus should be …

Flexible link manipulators (FLM) are widely preferred in applications that require faster
operation, high maneuverability, and less energy consumption. However, their flexibility is …

This paper presents a stable control for a single link flexible manipulator. The flexible
manipulator is considered as Euler–Bernoulli beam, and its dynamic model is developed …

The hybrid arms robot (HAR) is a new modified robot which consists of a rigid link (RL) and a
flexible link (FL), and it carries a laser head at the end-effector for laser contour machining …

Modelling errors and robust stabilization/tracking problems under parameter and model
uncertainties complicate the control of the flexible underactuated systems. Chattering-free …
