Experiments on Reduction Control of Residual Vibrations of Flexible Robot Arm Using Desired Signal Planning of Joint Angle and Disturbance Obsever.

Abstract

In this report, the rotation control system of the flexible robot arm is constructed with both the desired signal planning algorithm of the joint angle and the tracking controller. The tracking controller consists of the PD controller and the disturbance observer. Then, the experiments of the rotation control of the flexible robot arm have been carried out. As the results, it is seen that the residual vibrations of the flexible robot arm can be remarkably reduced. Therefore, the usefulness of the present rotation control system of the flexible robot arm using the desired signal planning method of the joint angle and the disturbance observer is confirmed experimentally.
