  • Abstract
    This paper presents an end-point sensor system and the development of an observer to reconstruct the states of a flexible-link robot. The sensor system includes a tip displacement sensor and an accelerometer. Based on the assumed-models method, an observer is developed using the Kalman filtering algorithm. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the observer
