“…Based on the Euler-Lagrange equations, many approaches for deriving the dynamic model of robot manipulators are published [1,6,16,19,20,21]. The important property of dynamic equations, which is often exploited for developing control algorithms (e.g., sliding mode control [8,13], sliding mode control using neural networks [7,13], neural-networkbased control [5,14]), is the skew symmetry that depends on the Coriolis/centrifugal matrix formulation. For satisfying the skew symmetry property, the popular method is to take advantages of Christoffel symbols of the first kind for constructing the Coriolis/centrifugal matrix; but this matrix has to be set up by combining all its elements after calculating every one of them [6,16,19,20,21].…”
