About

Fatkhul Arifin is a researcher in robotics and control systems, with a particular focus on the modeling and control of flexible manipulators. His work addresses the challenge of managing nonlinearities and vibrations in lightweight robotic arms, which are critical for precision tasks in manufacturing and automation. His most-cited paper, “NN robust based-PID Control of A Two-Link Flexible Robot Manipulator” (2012), presents a dynamic model using assumed mode methods and applies a neural network robust PID controller to stabilize a planar two-link flexible manipulator. This study, with 6 citations, demonstrates his contribution to integrating intelligent control techniques with classical PID strategies to enhance performance in flexible robotic systems. Arifin’s research is valuable for students and engineers seeking to understand how neural networks can mitigate the complexities of flexible structures, offering a practical bridge between theoretical control design and real-world robotic applications. His work underscores the importance of robust control in advancing the capabilities of next-generation, lightweight manipulators.
