Abstract

Repositioning by learning of a two-link flexible arm is dealt with. A finite dimensional algorithm is presented which trial by trial search for a control which moves the arm between two given configurations in a finite time interval. Effectiveness of these algorithms is proven both by theoretical arguments and experimental results. Robustness with respect to unmodeled dynamics is also addressed.
