This paper presents a novel feedback sensing approach for actively suppressing vibrations of a single-link flexible manipulator. Slewing of the flexible link by a rotating hub induces vibrations in the link that persist long after the hub stops rotating. These vibrations are suppressed through a combined scheme of PD-based hub motion control and proposed piezoelectric (PZT) actuator control, which is a composite linear and velocity feedback controller. Lyapunov approach was used to synthesize the controller based on a finite element model of the system. Its realization was possible due to the availability of both linear and angular velocity feedback provided by a unique, commercially-available fiber optic curvature sensor array, called ShapeTape™. It is comprised of an array of fiber optic curvature sensors, laminated on a long, thin ribbon tape, geometrically arranged in such a way that, when it is embedded into the flexible link, the bend and twist of the link’s centerline can be measured. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
