In this paper a survey of the literature related to dynamic analyses of flexible robotic
manipulators has been carried out. Both link and joint flexibility are considered in this work …

The status and some recent developments in computational modeling of flexible multibody
systems are summarized. Discussion focuses on a number of aspects of flexible multibody …

A survey of the field of control for flexible multi-link robots is presented. This research area
has drawn great attention during the last two decades, and seems to be somewhat less …

Space robots play a significant role in on‐orbit servicing (OOS) missions, such as inspecting,
capturing, refueling, and repairing satellites, assembling and maintaining large space …

In this paper, the design of an acceleration sensor based active vibration control for a
cantilever beam with bonded piezoelectric patches is studied. The problem of phase …

This paper proposes a composite controller (CC) to improve the accuracy of trajectory
tracking and suppress the vibration of two-link underwater flexible manipulators. A dynamic …

In this paper, a class of flexible riser systems modeled by partial differential equations
(PDEs) with the backlash is considered. The backlash is formulated as the addition of a …

This paper presents a new nonlinear adaptive model predictive controller (NAMPC) for tip
position control of a flexible manipulator (FLM) when subjected to handle different payloads …

The use of flexible links in a robot inevitably causes the elastic deflection and vibration of the
endpoint of the robot during high-speed operations. The deflection and vibration will tend to …

This paper presents a novel distributed sensing and actuation approach for actively
suppressing vibrations within flexible link manipulators. Through vibration suppression, the …
