This paper presents a method for the end effector motion control of a spatial three-link robot having elastic second and third links including measurement noises. In the derivation of equations of motion, not to face with complex equations of motion, each link is modeled as though the links are not connected and the restrictions on the links due to connecting them by joints are written as constraint equations. After that the Lagrange multipliers are eliminated and the constraint equations at the acceleration level are substituted into the equations of motion to reduce the number of equations. To handle the non-minimum phase property, the equations of motion of the elastic manipulator are divided as the equations corresponding to a pseudostatic equilibrium and the equations of the deviations from them. Definition of the pseudostatic equilibrium used in this study can be given as a hypothetical state in which the end effector velocity and the end effector acceleration possess their reference values while the elastic deflections are instantly constant. The advantages of this control method are that the elastic deflections and the control inputs required for the pseudostatic equilibrium are obtained by an algebraic method and the feedback stabilization control inputs for the deviation equations are determined without linearizing the dynamic equations. The required measurements are obtained from the strain gauges on the links, the encoders placed on the joints and the position sensors attached to the end effector. For each sensor, a low pass filter is used. Simulations are made with low and high values of crossover frequencies to show the positive and negative effects of filtering on the responses of the system.

Hybrid Force and Motion Control of a Three-Dimensional Flexible Robot Considering Measurement Noises
Kılıçaslan, Sinan; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Ider, Sıtkı Kemal (2022-07-01)
This work addresses the end-effector trajectory-tracking force and motion control of a three-dimensional three-link robot considering measurement noises. The last two links of the manipulator are considered as structurally flexible. An absolute coordinate approach is used while obtaining the dynamic equations to avoid complex dynamic equations. In this approach, each link is modeled as if there is no connection between the links. Then, joint connections are expressed as constraint equations. After that, the...
Motion control of flexible-link manipulators
KILIÇASLAN, SEMA; Ider, S. K.; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal (2008-12-01)
A new method is proposed for the end-effector trajectory tracking control of flexible robot manipulators. The equations of motion are separated into two parts that represent the pseudostatic equilibrium and the deviations from it, The part of the control input for the pseudostatic equilibrium is determined algebraically, and the other part of the control input for the stabilization of the deviations is obtained by a state variable feedback law, by using strain, joint variable, and end-effector position meas...
Hybrid force and motion control of robots with flexible links

Considering robot manipulators with flexible links, a new method is proposed to control their constrained end-effector motions and the associated contact forces and/or moments. The equations of motion are separated into two parts that represent the pseudostatic equilibrium and the deviations from it. The feedforward part of the control input based on the pseudostatic equilibrium is determined algebraically and the feedback part of the control input for the stabilization of the deviations is obtained by mean...
Vibration suppression of an elastic beam via sliding mode control
Itik, Mehmet; SALAMCİ, METİN UYMAZ; Ulker, F. Demet (2005-09-09)
This paper presents experimental results of sliding mode control (SMC) technique applied to an elastic beam. The aim of the controller is to suppress first two vibration modes of the beam. Mathematical model of the beam is a finite dimensional model obtained from the Bernoulli-Euler beam equation. As the system states are to be available in order to design the SMC, an observer has been designed to obtain the states of the system by measuring tip deflection of the beam. By using observed states of the finite...

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of several real-time motion controller topologies implemented on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). Controller topologies are selected as proportional-integral-derivative controller with command feedforward, sliding mode controller, fuzzy controller, and a hysteresis controller. Controllers and other necessary modules are developed using Verilog HDL and they are implemented on a ML505 development board with a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA chip. In order to take ful...
