TLDR
In this paper, the point-to-point control of a manipulator with three revolute elastic joints is considered and it is shown that a simple PD controller, similar to that used for rigid robots, suffices to globally stabilize the elastic joint robots about a reference position.
Abstract
The point-to-point control of manipulators having elastic joints is considered. It is shown that a simple PD (proportional plus derivative) controller, similar to that used for rigid robots, suffices to globally stabilize the elastic joint robots about a reference position. A robustness analysis is also given with respect to uncertainties on the robot parameters. The results of numerical simulation tests of a manipulator with three revolute elastic joints are presented. >

Use of a Simple Mechanical Analogy to Analytically Tune the PD Controller of a Flexible Manipulator System

TL;DR: A study is presented in this paper that uses a simple mechanical analogy to analytically tune the PD (proportional-derivative) controller of a linear flexible manipulator system to give simple closed-form solutions of the optimal P and D gains to yield the maximum bandwidth under agiven damping requirement or conversely the maximum damping under a given bandwidth requirement.

PD control of robot manipulators considering joint flexibility, actuators dynamics and friction

TL;DR: In this paper, a PD controller for robot manipulators simultaneously considering joint flexibility, actuators dynamics as well as friction is presented, and global convergence to a desired fixed angular position is proved only using position and velocity measurements.

Design and control of a novel multi-state compliant safe joint for robotic surgery

TL;DR: A novel design of compliant safe joint, which has flexibility when the work load exceeds a predefined threshold, and a simple algorithm to choose control methods so that the system can work both under rigid and flexible states with different controllers.

Consensus of networks of nonidentical robots with flexible joints, variable time-delays and immeasurable velocities

TL;DR: The paper presents some experiments, using three 3-Degrees of Freedom manipulators, which show the performance of the proposed approaches, and the only assumption on the directed and weighted interconnection graph is that it is connected.
