Abstract In this paper we present a new method for the point-to-point motion control of the end-point of a single flexible link manipulator. The technique is based on an exact system inversion procedure, that allows to define a suitable motion law for the hub in order to reduce the residual vibration at the end of the tip motion. Thus, the end-point control is actually performed in open-loop, therefore avoiding the use of a sensor to measure the actual tip position. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach and that the overall control system is inherently robust to modelling errors.
