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 …

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 …

This paper reviews literature on dynamic analysis and intelligent control techniques for
flexible robot manipulators. First, a comparative dynamic analysis of flexible manipulators …

In this paper, a discrete model is adopted, as proposed by Hencky for elastica based on rigid
bars and lumped rotational springs, to design the control of a lightweight planar manipulator …

The control of robots that interact with the environment is an open area of research. Two
applications that benefit from this study are: the control of the force exerted by a robot on an …

In this paper, a fractional order control law is proposed and implemented for the evaluation
of trajectory tracking performance of a rotary flexible-joint system. A state feedback based …

In this paper we address the trajectory tracking problem of the end-effector of a single link
flexible arm in which the gravity forces and the joint friction forces are taken into account. As …

In this paper, we propose a fast online closed-loop identification method combined with an
output-feedback controller of the generalized proportional integral (GPI) type for the control …

This paper presents a novel and computationally efficient modeling method for the dynamics
of flexible-link robot manipulators. In this method, a robot manipulator is decomposed into …

Flexible manipulators have many advantages over rigid robots when used in gras** tasks,
owing to the characteristic flexibility of the materials used in their construction, which allow …
