Dynamic modelling of flexible robot manipulators

Abstract

The problem of modeling flexible robots is considered. The dynamic model is obtained by using a generalized Lagrangian approach and by expanding in a limited number of terms the function describing the exact shape of bent beams constituting the robot. General properties of the model, such as controllability, are then investigated. To manipulate the cumbersome formulas the SAM language MACSYMA has been extensively used.
