Abstract
This paper deals with the development of an interactive and user friendly environment for the simulation of flexible manipulator system. A constrained planer single-link flexible manipulator is considered for this environment. Simulation algorithm is based on finite difference method where the systems governing dynamic equation is discretized and implemented within simulink environment. This environment has proven to be a valuable educational tool for understanding the behaviour of flexible manipulator system and development of various controller designs. The environment can be used as a computer aided teaching facility and also a test-bed for newly designed controllers for flexible manipulator systems. Both open-loop and closed-loop control strategies were also incorporated within the environment.
