Title: The effect of passive damping on feedback control performance of flexible manipulators

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10165877

This paper discusses the effect of passive damping on long-reach manipulators. Specifically, this paper explains how the addition of structural damping affects the closed-loop system response of the manipulators. A single-link flexible manipulator is used to illustrate the effects of passive damping on the location of the system`s pole s and zeros. The corresponding performance of the system with modified pole/zero locations is discussed. The analysis is performed including colocated and noncolocated flexible-link manipulators.
