Zusammenfassung:This study aims to investigate the significant dynamics of a Single Link Flexible Joint (SLFJ) Robotic Manipulator and implement chaotic control using the Adaptive Sliding Mode Control (ASMC) algorithm. The mathematical model of the system incorporates stiffness nonlinearity by introducing the function (x-x3) Various dynamical tools such as stability analysis of equilibrium points, sensitivity to initial conditions, orbit diagrams for parameter variations, Lyapunov spectrum, and frequency spectrum analysis are employed. The ASMC algorithm is utilized to suppress the chaotic behavior of the system. The equilibrium points are determined for critical parameter values, with the Jacobian matrix and corresponding eigenvalues exhibiting conjugate complex with negative real parts, indicating stability resembling a spiral saddle. Phase portraits illustrate the location and range of the chaotic attractor. Investigation of parameter ′a′ using orbit diagrams and Lyapunov spectrum reveals the transition from periodic to chaotic oscillations. The frequency spectrum confirms the chaotic nature of the system. Parameter estimation, state trajectories, and sliding surface analysis demonstrate that the ASMC scheme can effectively control the system in less than 0.3 s. Nonlinear stiffness has not been previously considered in SLFJ Robotic Manipulators, highlighting a novel aspect of this study. The results unveil new chaotic ranges for parameter variation previously undocumented. Frequency spectrum analysis is employed to distinguish between noise and chaotic oscillations, addressing a significant challenge in real-time systems. The ASMC algorithm is specifically designed to control chaotic oscillations, demonstrating its effectiveness in this context. •Novel Analysis: The research presents a comprehensive analysis of a Single Link Flexible Joint (SLFJ) Robotic Manipulator with nonlinear stiffness, shedding light on its intricate behavior and the impact of nonlinear dynamics.•Advanced Control Strategies: Through stability, bifurcation, and synchronization analyses, the study underscores the need for sophisticated control strategies, highlighting the effectiveness of the Adaptive Sliding Mode Controller (ASM) in achieving synchronization and stabilizing the system.•Practical Implications: By demonstrating the significance of nonlinear stiffness on system behavior and the efficacy of the ASM Controller in real-time applications, the research contributes valuable insights for en
