Study on Variable Structure Vibration Control for Flexible Manipulator

Abstract

In recent years, modeling and control of flexible space robots are extensively researched. Compared with traditional rigid robots, flexible robots have low energy consumption, wide operating space, high carrying capacity and other characteristics. However, due to its special structure, the robot arm will get deformation and vibration in motion, which brings a lot of problems to the positioning and tracking control of flexible space robots. Therefore, directing at the dynamics modeling and control issues of the free-floating flexible dual-arm space robots, this article carries out in-depth study. This paper first studies the elastic deformation and vibration of the flexible space manipulator and the robust control problem of the system trajectory tracking for free-floating flexible dual-arm space robots.
