There is a high interest in research for using flexible link manipulators in industrial robots as
flexible link manipulators are more advantageous than heavy and rigid link manipulators …

Flexible links possess numerous advantages over rigid links which impose the research
attention towards employing flexible links in robotics. However, flexible links have a tip …

In this article, the concurrent optimal design of a planar five-bar parallel robot for a high-
speed pick and place task is considered. A trade-off between trajectory tracking, energy …

In this article, a large deformation analysis of a flexible manipulator is examined by using the
discrete time transfer matrix method. Since this robotic analysis is very demanding in terms …

The hybrid arms robot (HAR) is a new modified robot which consists of a rigid link (RL) and a
flexible link (FL), and it carries a laser head at the end-effector for laser contour machining …

Rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) robotics have been investigated for exploring planetary
terrain currently inaccessible to traditional aluminum body rovers. To push the technology to …

During the drilling and repairing of wells, the pipe string transfer equipment has a high work
frequency. The movement accuracy, response speed, and controllability of the equipment …

This paper presents a case study of using a digital twin model to control and monitor a real
