Fuzzy control of a flexible link manipulator

In this paper a fuzzy control approach has been applied to the control of a very flexible link manipulator, which does not use a mathematical model of the system. A methodology for fuzzy logic controller (FLC) design is proposed and design parameters are discussed, on which a FLC for an experimental flexible link manipulator is based. A controller is developed via simulation for implementation in the experimental test-bed.
