Abstract
As the requirements for robot performance increase, the dynamics of the manipulator become more dominated by flexibility. These flexible effects generate model uncertainty which reduces the end-point positioning accuracy of the manipulator. Residual vibration or tip deflection due to uncertain payloads may contribute to the error in tip position. This paper addresses several control strategies currently used by researchers to account for flexibility in robots and their ability to perform tasks despite the flexibility.
