Abstract

Inverse dynamic problem analyzing of flexible link robot with translational and rotational joints is presented in this work. The new model is developed from single flexible link manipulator with only rotational joint. The dynamic equations are built by using finite element method and Lagrange approach. The approximate force of translational joint and torque of rotational joint are found based on rigid model. The simulation results show the values of driving forces at joints of flexible robot with desire path and errors of joint variables between flexible and rigid models. Elastic displacements of end-effector are shown, respectively. There are remaining issues which need be studied further in future work because the error joints variables in algorithm to solve inverse dynamic problem of flexible with translational joint has not been mentioned yet.
