Abstract
Controller design for a rigid-flexible two-link manipulator is conside red. Robustness of independent joint PD control is investigated. It ha s been shown that the stability of independent joint PD control does n ot depend explicitly on the system parameters. No discretization or li nearization of the equations of motion is required to assure the stabi lity. Simulation studies also show that independent joint PD control g ives reasonably good results for the flexible system, and is robust to parameter uncertainties.
