Bandwidth modulation of rigid subsystem for the class of flexible robots

Abstract

Focuses on the design of rigid part motion control and the selection of bandwidth of the rigid subsystem. Based on the passivity approach and disturbance observer, we investigate the relationship between macro joint tracking performance and vibration suppression capability using the joint motion bandwidth parameter. For the flexibility isolated system, the independent sub-controllers for the rigid and flexible part are proposed just like the singular perturbation approach. The validity of the proposed method is verified by experiments.
