Abstract:The dynamics of a 6 DOF lightweight and compact manipulator is modeled and simulated in this work. Both joint and link flexibilities are considered in order to determine modal properties of the robotic system. The numerical results are then compared with experimental measurements of predefined trajectories through a laser tracker. It is demonstrated that both joint and link flexibilities have important effects on the end-effector motion and the vibrational properties of the system. Index terms -robot manipulat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
