Abstract
Initial experiments on state space feedback control of
a large flexible manipulator with a parallel linkage drive
are described. A linear controller using joint angle and
strain measurements was designed to minimize a
quadratic performance index with a prescribed stability
margin. It is based on a simplified model that accounts for
the constraints of the parallel linkage kinematically rather
than through constraint forces. The results show
substantial improvement over a simple P.O. joint control.
