Abstract
Research in the control of flexible arms may offer long term solutions to factory automation problems in applications where high performance, long reach, or mobility is required. This paper discusses the reconstruction of modal quantities from strain gage measurements, and the sensitivity of an optimal controller to variations in payload mass based on analytical models and experiment for a single-link arm.
