4th European Control Conference, ECC 1997, Brussels, Belçika, 1 - 04 Temmuz 1997, ss.2210-2215, (Tam Metin Bildiri)
We present a novel control algorithm for multi-link flexible planar manipulators. The proposed scheme is a switching rule between a new nonlinear controller and a conventional PD (proportional and derivative) controller. We prove the stability of the controller using La Salle's theorem. Simulation results illustrate the improvement over PD controller.
