            Abstract : 
We present experimental results on the position and vibration control of the end-effector of a 2-DOF parallelogram manipulator with a flexible forearm. Control strategies are implemented to control the manipulator. Experimental results are reported and the successful performance of the controllers in dampening out end-point vibrations is demonstrated
