From a functional standpoint, classic robots are not at all similar to biological systems. If
compared with rigid robots, animals' bodies look overly redundant, imprecise, and weak …

In this paper a survey of the literature related to dynamic analyses of flexible robotic
manipulators has been carried out. Both link and joint flexibility are considered in this work …

This article deals with an uncertain two-link rigid–flexible manipulator with vibration
amplitude constraint, intending to achieve its position control via motion planning and …

There has been great interest in" universal controllers" that mimic the functions of human
processes to learn about the systems they are controlling on-line so that performance …

This thesis is devoted to nonlinear control, reduction, and classification of underactuated
mechanical systems. Underactuated systems are mechanical control systems with fewer …

In this article, we propose a new dynamic model of Cosserat beams in view of its application
to continuum and soft robotics manipulation and locomotion. In contrast to usual …

The status and some recent developments in computational modeling of flexible multibody
systems are summarized. Discussion focuses on a number of aspects of flexible multibody …

A survey of the field of control for flexible multi-link robots is presented. This research area
has drawn great attention during the last two decades, and seems to be somewhat less …

A basic problem in the control system theory is the mathematical modeling of a physical
system. The modeling of many systems calls for high-order dynamic equations. The …

Abstract Design issues, dynamic modeling, trajectory planning, and feedback control
problems are presented for robot manipulators having components with mechanical …
