  • Abstract
    In this paper the modelling and control of a single-link manipulator with link flexibility is discussed. A linear state-space model is obtained and a controller is proposed with the actuators and measurements located at points along the length of the arm. Also a method for the optimal selection of the controllers´ locations is presented, so that bending is minimized during the arm motion. The results are validated by simulations.
