System Identification and Intelligent Control of Flexible Manipulator System

Abstract


Position control of flexible manipulator system is normally accompanied with tip vibration that results in degradation of performance. This paper investigates an active control strategy by applying classical PID controller to suppress unwanted vibration of flexible manipulator in presence of disturbances. The parameters of PID controller are tuned by genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) in the intelligent (self-tuning) manner. The results of these two optimization methods are compared toward vibration control capability, moreover; modeling of flexible manipulator is conducted by applying system identification method in which autoregressive with exogenous input (ARX) model is intended as linear model. This research can be regarded as guidance for further elaborate research on implementing optimization method particularly integrated with PID controller for flexible manipulator system modeled by system identification approach.
