This study develops an active vibration control unit for flexible booms for spraying agricultural chemicals. This unit consists of fly-wheel, servo-motor, gyro sensor and micro computer, and is named as Active Wheel Damper (AWD) in this study. AWD can be mounted on any flexible boom structure with ease to obtain effective damping. This study combines the adaptive disturbance cancellation controller and sky-hook controller to obtain higher vibration suppression performance, and names this controller as Sky-hook with Adaptive Disturbance Cancellation control (SWADC). The performance of developed vibration suppression unit is demonstrated by experiments.
