this research focuses on proposing an optimal trajectory planning and control method of two link rigid-flexible manipulators (tlrfm) for dynamic object manipulation (dom) missions. for the first time, achievement of dom task using a rotating one flexible link robot was taken into account in [20]. the authors do not aim to contribute on either trajectory tracking or vibration control of the end-...

This paper studies the effect of flexible linear torso on the dynamics of passive quadruped bounding. A reduced-order passive and conservative model with linear flexible torso and springy legs is introduced. The model features extensive spine deformation during high-speed bounding, resembling those observed in a cheetah. Fixed points corresponding to cyclic bounding motions are found and calcul...

Vision-aided flexible link robot positioning using the Camera Space Manipulation (CSM) method is developed. The primary motivation for this work is to use an autonomous vision-aided robotic system to pick-up and accurately move a flexible object that it encounters. The work consists of analytical and experimental investigation of the performance of CSM for a kinematic model of the PUMA manipula...

This paper presents dynamic modelling of a two-link flexible manipulator system. The kinematic model is based on standard frame transformation matrices describing both rigid rotation and modal displacement, under small deflection assumption. A two-link flexible manipulator incorporating structural damping, hub inertia and payload is considered. An explicit, complete, and accurate nonlinear dyna...

Integrated structure control design of a two-link flexible robot arm is investigated in this article. The whole arm consists of two flexible links, a fixed joint, a moving joint, and a tip load. The arm is driven by the torque motors at the two joints to reach predefined tip positions and to suppress residual flexural vibrations. The links of the arm are modeled using the finite element method ...

This paper aims to develop a boundary control solution for a single-link gantry robot manipulator with one axis of rotation. The control procedure is considered with link’s transverse vibrations while system undergoes rigid body nonlinear large rotation and translation. Initially, based on Hamilton principle, governing equations of hybrid motions as a set of partial differential equations...
