The dynamics of rigid bodies coupled by homonymic and non-homonymic constraints are formulated by the Newton - Euler method - employing a compact notation. The compact notation involves the use of two three by three matrices A and ? and the totality of constraint vector C. The Lagrangian and Newton - Euler methods are related for a one - link rigid body in order to introduce the methodology of the paper in full detail. Stability and control of the resulting nonlinear systems are investigated by the use of Lyapunov methods. Digital computer simulations of typical movements are carried out in order to demonstrate feasibility of the formulation and the approach.

Abstract A control system for a three-link direct-drive robotic manipulator with inherent structural flexibilities is presented. The structural flexibilities introduce undesirable vibration modes which may affect operation of the robot motion controller, resulting in destabilization of the closed-loop system. This represents a major limiting factor for implementation of a conventional controller designed solely for the rigid body dynamics of the robotic manipulator. The fundamental idea in the presented approach is to use a composite controller which consists of a trajectory-tracking section designed for the rigid-body dynamics and a vibration-damping compensator added for attenuation of the dominant flexible dynamics. The vibration damping compensator operates on estimated states of the dominant flexible dynamics obtained from a reduced-order state observer. A mechanism is implemented which allows the robotic manipulator to move through or hold in positions where the dominant flexible dynamics is unobservable and uncontrollable. Results of laboratory tests document that the presented approach leads to improved stability and control performance.

The dynamic model of a class of the system coupled with main rigid body, elastomer and tip rigid body is established. The control law of the system is given, and the attitude stability of the complex controlled system is studied in infinite dimensional functional spaces by means of the modern mathematics and large scale system analysis.

The power of the new equations of motion developed in part I of this paper is illustrated using three examples from multi-body dynamics. The first two examples deal with the problem of accurately controlling the orientation of a rigid body, while the third example deals with the synchronization of two rigid bodies so that their relative orientations are ‘locked’ through prescribed dynamical relationships. The ease, simplicity and accuracy with which control of such highly nonlinear systems is achieved are demonstrated.
