Abstract

Space manipulators are flexible structures. Vibration problem will be unavoidable due to motion or external disturbance excitation. Model based control methods will not maintain the required accuracy because of the existence of nonlinear factors and parameter uncertainties. To solve these problems, fuzzy logic control laws with different membership function groups are adopted to suppress vibrations of a flexible smart manipulator using collocated piezoelectric sensor/actuator pair. Also, dual-mode controllers combining fuzzy logic and proportional integral control are designed, for suppressing the lower amplitude vibration near the equilibrium point significantly. Experimental comparison research is conducted, using fuzzy control algorithms and the dual-mode controllers with different membership functions. The experimental results show that the adopted fuzzy control algorithms can substantially suppress the larger amplitude vibration; and the dual-mode controllers can also damp out the lower amplitude vibration significantly. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed fuzzy controllers and dual-mode controllers can suppress vibration effectively, and the optimal placement is feasible.
