Space manipulator systems in orbit are subject to link flexibilities since they are designed to be lightweight and long reaching. Often, their joints are driven by harmonic gear-motor units, which introduce joint flexibility. Both of these types of flexibility may cause structural vibrations. To improve endpoint tracking, advanced control strategies that benefit from the knowledge of system parame...
