Abstract
This paper investigates the problem of modeling and controlling a space manipulator system with flexible joints and links. The dynamic model of the flexible manipulator system is derived by using the Lagrange equation and the floating frame of reference formulation, where the assumed mode method is adopted to discretize flexible links, while the flexible joints are regarded as linear torsion springs. The natural characteristics of a single flexible link manipulator, under three different boundary conditions, are compared to reveal the effect of the flexibility of joints on the manipulator system and to choose suitable assumed modes. Furthermore, singular perturbation theory is introduced to decompose the system into a slow subsystem that describes the rigid-body motion, and a fast subsystem that describes the elastic vibration. Since the system is underactuated, a compound control strategy, which consists of the underactuated computed torque controller and the adaptive fuzzy controller, is presented to improve the accuracy of the trajectory tracking of the flexible joints and to suppress the elastic vibration of the flexible links, in the meantime. Both numerical simulation and experimentation are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed compound controller, and a comparison with the proportional-derivative (PD) controller is provided to highlight its superiority in suppressing the residual vibration of the tip.
