There is a high demand for developing effective controllers to perform fast and accurate
operations for either flexible link manipulators (FLMs) or rigid link manipulators (RLMs) …

Mathematical modelling plays an important role for robotic manipulators in order to design
their particular controllers. Also, it is hard challenge to obtain an accurate mathematical …

This article deals with an uncertain two-link rigid–flexible manipulator with vibration
amplitude constraint, intending to achieve its position control via motion planning and …

A novel hybrid strategy combining a spiral dynamic algorithm (SDA) and a bacterial foraging
algorithm (BFA) is presented in this article. A spiral model is incorporated into the …

This paper presents an extensive tutorial and a complete review on the state-dependent
Riccati equation (SDRE). The review covers contributions from the beginning to (near the …

In this paper, the global mode method (GMM) is proposed to obtain a reduced-order
analytical dynamic model for a signal flexible-link flexible-joint (SFF) manipulator. Firstly, the …

This paper puts forward a novel deep reinforcement learning control using deep
deterministic policy gradient (DRLC-DDPG) framework to address the reference tracking …

Residual vibrations caused by point-to-point motions reduce the positioning accuracy and
dynamic performance of flexible link manipulators, and the trajectory planning method, a …

This paper proposes a disturbance interval estimation approach for nonlinear systems.
Distinct from the conventional estimation schemes aiming to estimate the magnitude of the …

One of the main restrictions of commercial cobots can be found in their limited payload to
mass ratios. Flexible link manipulators seem to offer interesting advantages over traditional …
