...William J. O’Connor; David J. McKeown This paper presents a new, robust, time-optimal control strategy for flexible manipulators controlled by acceleration-limited actuators. The strategy is designed by combining the well-known, open-loop, time-optimal solution with wave-based feedback control...

... / ω d is larger than the width of one or both of the pulses of the time-optimal control for the rigid body portion of the system, then we will have different profiles of the shaped input than those detailed in this paper. In such cases, depending on the system parameter values, we may need...

...Marco Muenchhof; Tarunraj Singh This paper addresses the problem of designing jerk limited time-optimal control profiles for rest-to-rest maneuvers of flexible structures. The variation of the structure of the jerk profile as a function of the permissible jerk is studied. An optimal control problem...

... control of the pendulum using bounded input. Time optimal control of a nonlinear system can be formulated by Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle, which is, however, hard to compute practically. In this paper, a new computational approach is presented to attain a numerical solution of the time optimal swing-up...
