ABSTRACT


This paper mainly studies how to control the flexible manipulator effectively, which can drive the flexible manipulator to reach the angular and restrain the vibration of the manipulator simultaneously. Firstly, two disturbance observers based on partial differential equations (PDEs) model are improved to ensure its convergence in finite time. Then, on the basis of the disturbance observer, two active boundary controllers are proposed to achieve the control objective. Finally, the stability and effectiveness of the designed controller are verified by theoretical analysis and simulation.


Keywords: Flexible manipulator, vibration control, finite-time disturbance observer, distributed parameter system (DPS)
