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 …

Over the last few decades, extensive use of flexible manipulators in various robotic
applications has made it as one of the research interests for many scholars over the world …

Surgical robots have had clinical use since the mid‐1990s. Robot‐assisted surgeries offer
many benefits over the conventional approach including lower risk of infection and blood …

Positive position feedback (PPF) is an effective vibration control technique for smart
actuators and has been studied in recent years. In this paper, PPF controller is analyzed and …

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 …

Real-time model predictive controller (MPC) implementation in active vibration control (AVC)
is often rendered difficult by fast sampling speeds and extensive actuator-deformation …

The aim of this study is to design a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller for the active
vibration control of a smart flexible cantilever beam. The mathematical model of the smart …

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

Abstract Space manipulators are flexible structures. Vibration problem will be unavoidable
due to motion or external disturbance excitation. Model based control methods will not …

To achieve high speed, flexible planar parallel manipulators (PPM) are typically designed
with lightweight linkages, but hence suffer from unwanted structural vibration, diminishing …
