Title: Digital filter control of remotely operated flexible robotic structures

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6706644

This paper presents an infinite impulse response (IIR) filtering technique for reducing structural vibration in remotely operated robotic systems. The technique uses a discrete filter between the operator's joy stick and the robot controller to alter the inputs of the system so that residual vibration and swing are reduced. A linearized plant model of the system is analyzed in the discrete time domain, and the filter is designed using pole-zero placement in the z-plane. This technique has been successfully applied to a two link flexible arm and a gantry crane with a suspended payload.
