Developing nonlinear adaptive and robust controllers for a two-link flexible robot arm is the main objective of this research. Two different modelling techniques are used to overcome model accuracy problems and these two are evaluated comparatively. These are FEM(Finite Element Method) as a reduced order-approximate model and PDE(Partial Differential Equations)approach as an exact model. The main results of the study are robust regulation of the rigid modes and suppression of elastic vibrations of the flexible robot arm. The dynamic state feedback controller is used to achieve this goal in...
