Gale Academic Onefile Document Intelligent Manipulator With Flexible Link And Joint Modeling And Vibration Control
The manipulator is primarily composed of an electric motor an elastic joint a follow-up unit PZT actuators a mounting base for the actuators a flexible link and a tip mass.
The manipulator is driven by the electric motor and the follow-up unit is connected to the rotor of the motor by the elastic joints.
The link is a flexible beam. The paper describes the model of a two flexible joint manipulator and the development of a nonlinear passivity based control method for that model. For dynamic modeling the Euler-Language approach is selected to model flexible joint manipulator. Since lightweight materials are employed in the construction of manipulator the assumption that.
Under the assumption of weak joint elasticity a singular perturbation argument is used to show that recent adaptive control results for rigid robots can be used to control flexible-joint robots provided a simple correction term is added to the control law to damp out the elastic oscillations at the joints.
The usage of the flexible joint manipulator FJM has been started to replace with rigid body manipulators in the robotics industry such as service space medical and defense because the FJM provides faster movements low manufacturing cost and high weight to payload ratio as well as low energy consumption compared to the rigid-body structures. Flexible joint manipulator driven by BDCM with uncertain parameters. In section 1 the related works were presented. In section 2 a system description was detailed given the different constraints such as the joint flexibility due to the harmonic gear and including motor dynamics.
Section 3 devoted the MIL model of the proposed system.
A new control method is proposed to address these problems achieving the precise motion control of the flexible-joint manipulator. The method consists of three cascaded controllers. An adaptive controller a torque-tracking controller and a motor controller. Many manipulator robots have flexible joint due to the gear elasticity the bearing deformation and the shaft windup etc1415In this study we consider one link ma- nipulator robot with revolute joint actuated by brushless direct current motor.
Modeling and Nonlinear Control of a Single-link Flexible Joint Manipulator Kevin Groves Andrea Serrani Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The Ohio State University Columbus OH 43210 USA 1 Introduction In this experiment we consider the nonlinear control of a robotic arm with joint exibility.
Flexible manipulators have several benefits over the rigid manipulators such as light weight with higher payload better maneuverability higher operational speed lower energy consumption. Along these advantages however the flexible manipulators cause vibrations and trajectory tracking control problems. An adaptive control scheme is proposed for the manipulator system having two constrained regions which are constructed by selecting appropriate objective functions. The two joints of the flexible-joint manipulator can be respectively confined in different regions and this gives more flexibility than the traditional fixed-point tracking control.
Compared to the conventional heavy and bulky robots flexible link manipulators have the potential advantage of lower cost larger work volume higher operational speed greater payload-to-manipulator-weight ratio smaller actuators lower energy consumption better maneuverability better transportability and safer operation due to reduced inertia.
