Description
Summary:In this study, we aim to construct the boundary robust adaptive control for weakening the vibration of the flexible Timoshenko manipulator in the presence of unknown disturbances. By Lyapunov’s direct method, the adaptive controllers and disturbance observers are exploited to achieve the angle tracking and handle the external disturbances. With the suggested adaptive laws and disturbance observers, the controlled system with both parametric and disturbance uncertainties is guaranteed to be uniformly bounded. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed control.
