contents This paper presents a novel position control strategy for a single-link flexible manipulator, tailored for applications where precise position must be achieved within strict time constraints. To accomplish this objective, firstly, a nested non-singular terminal sliding mode controller is designed for the system, enabling precise and robust control. Furthermore, a fixed-time sliding mode observer is designed to estimate unmeasured system states accurately in a fixed time, thereby enabling closed-loop control implementation. A stability analysis is presented to guarantee the robustness and efficacy of the proposed composite control algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed fixed-time controller is demonstrated through numerical simulation on accuracy, stability, and convergence speed. The proposed controller's performance is also compared with that of other state-of-the-art control schemes. The proposed controller is further validated through experiments conducted on a real hardware setup.
