Local model and controller network design for a single-link flexible manipulator

The work herein is the first to report on local networks approach in the control and vibration suppression of flexible manipulators. One of the reviewers commented: The paper is well written and the authors present some interesting results. The idea of this paper will be used to apply for further funding in conjunction with the EPSRC Grant EP/1012923/1 to incorporate flexible materials in Springer USV of Plymouth University to achieve faster response, lower energy consumption, higher payload to body weight ratio, easy to transport, and low cost.
