In this paper, an effective method in dynamic modeling of spatial flexible-link robots under large displacements and small deformations is discussed and a generic Matlab™ software simulator based on it is presented and validated. The adopted method is based on an Equivalent Rigid Link System (ERLS) that enables to decouple the kinematic equations of the ERLS from the compatibility equations of the displacements at the joints allowing an easy and recursive procedure to build the robot dynamic matrices. The simulator is suitable for dynamic modelling of generic 3D serial flexible-link robots. The Matlab™ software simulator is validated with respect to the Adams-Flex™ commercial software, which implements Floating Frame of Reference (FFR) formulation, one of the most used methods for dynamic modeling of multibody flexible-link mechanisms with large displacements and small deformations.

SUMMARYThis paper present a nonlinear, model-based control of flexible link robots. The control task is formulated requiring rigid joints variables to track reference time-varying trajectory and elastic deflection to be damped. The stability and robustness properties of the control scheme are analyzed from a passive energy consideration. A direct adaptive version is also proposed. Extensive evaluation of this approach is performed using experimental validations involving a single-flexible-link and a two-flexible-link horizontal robot. Experimental results show significant performances of the controller under relatively severe working conditions: 700% payload to arm ratio and 20% elastic deflection ratio at highest acceleration stages.
