Experimental results for the end-effector control of a single flexible robotic arm

Various control schemes for a single flexible robot arm are considered in this paper. They require a limited amount of on-line computations. All trials are performed on the physical process and embody a conclusive, although partial, comparison for this kind of single axis robot. They are representative of some major applied research directions which captured the attention of many researchers throughout the 1980´s. Some general conclusions are derived
