Modular Lie Algebraic PDE Control of Multibody Flexible Manipulators
This paper presents a subsystem-based adaptive control framework for serial flexible manipulators with an arbitrary number of links, in which the elastic deformation PDE of each link is carried through the entire control design without spatial discretization or modal truncation. All dynamic quantities -- rigid-body motion, elastic deformation, and inter-link constraint forces -- are expressed uniformly as body-fixed twists and wrenches within the se3 Lie-algebraic structure. A controllable form of the per-link dynamics is derived by substituting the strain-based deformation PDE into the dynamic equation, eliminating distributed elastic acceleration and yielding a model governed by the body-fixed twist acceleration and deformation field. Desired subsystem twist trajectories are generated via a deflection-compensating inverse kinematics procedure. A nominal per-link controller is proven to produce exponential twist error decay via a per-subsystem Lyapunov function. An adaptive modification replaces exact physical parameters with online estimates governed by a projection-based law, augmenting with a parameter estimation error term. Upon summing over all links, the interaction power terms telescope to zero by Newton's third law and the frame invariance of the natural power pairing on se3*se*(3), establishing exponential convergence of all twist errors and bounded elastic deformation under both nominal and adaptive controllers. The screw-theoretic structure renders interaction term cancellation exact, making the stability certificate modular and scalable to chains of arbitrary length. The framework is validated numerically on a two-link flexible manipulator in three-dimensional motion.
