Flexible manipulators: modeling, analysis and optimum design

The Series in Intelligent Systems publishes titles that cover state of the art knowledge and the latest advances in research and development in intelligentsystems. Its scope includes theoretical studies, design methods, and real-world implementations and applications. The Series publishes titles in three coresub-topic areas: Intelligent Automation, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and Intelligent Computing. Titles focus on professional and academic referenceworks and handbooks. The readership for the series is broad, reflecting the wide range of intelligent systems interest and application, but focuses on engineering (in particular automation, control, mechatronics, robotics, transportation, automotive, aerospace), electronics and electronic design, and computer science. Lightweight robotic manipulators play important roles in many applications, such as construction automation, environmental applications, and space engineering. Due to the complexity of the link deformation, the research effort on accurate modeling and high performance control has increased dramaticallyin recent years. Very few studies with quantitative results have been reported in the literature on the effect of size, shape, mass distribution, tip load,and other factors on the dynamics and operational performance of flexible manipulators. However, such analyses are critical to the effectiveness of any model for optimization and control purposes. Government and industry groups havespecifically stressed the importance of innovation in robotics, manufacturingautomation, and control systems for maintaining innovation and high-value-added manufacturing Discusses the latest research on the quantitative effects of size, shape, mass distribution, tip load, on the dynamics and operational performance of flexible manipulators Presents unique analyses critical to the effective modeling and optimization of manipulators: hard to find data unavailableelsewhere.
