The non-minimum phase characteristic, coupling effects, nonlinearities, parameter variations and unmodeled dynamics in such a manipulator all contribute to these difficulties. Control strategies that ignore these uncertainties and nonlinearities generally fail to provide satisfactory closed-loop performance. This monograph develops and experimentally evaluates several intelligent (neural network based) control techniques to address the problem of controlling the end-point of flexible-link manipulators in the presence of all the aforementioned difficulties. To highlight the main issues, a very flexible-link manipulator whose hub exhibits a considerable amount of friction is considered for the experimental work. Four different neural network schemes are proposed and implemented on the experimental test-bed. The neural networks are trained and employed as online controllers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46896261726359,"sku":"9781852334093","price":5646.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781852334093.webp?v=1770357462","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/control-of-flexible-link-manipulators-using-neural-networks-9781852334093","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
