This paper presents a survey in the field of two-link flexible manipulators (TLFMs). Two-link
flexible manipulators are more used in comparison with other types of flexible manipulators …

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) …

The use of rigid robot manipulators with good performance in industrial applications
demands a proper robust and optimized control technique. Several works have proven the …

Synchronisation/cooperation between manipulators is a specified emerging application in
the field of robotics. However, most of the synchronisation works are reported using rigid …

This paper presents a nonlinear distributed control strategy for flexible-link manipulators to
solve the tracking control problem in the joint space and cancel vibrations of the links. First …

This paper addresses the problem of tip trajectory tracking control along with the
suppression of tip deflection of a planar two-link flexible manipulator (TLFM). Assumed …

The sliding mode controller has been designed for joint position tracking and link vibration
reduction of the two-link flexible manipulator. In this work, to track the desired trajectory …

This is the first paper considering finite-time stabilization approach to design a control law for
a tractor–trailer system. This robot is a nonholonomic system which cannot be stabilized with …

A novel robust control law with finite time convergence for rigid robotic manipulators is
proposed in this paper. The whole control process is divided into two phases, ie, the error …

The decoupling control of two-link flexible manipulators with uncertain parameters and joint
motor dynamics is investigated by combining terminal sliding mode (TSM) and output …
