Abstract In control of cooperating manipulator systems, force distribution is a central problem. For rigid manipulators, solutions are based on various criteria such as minimum potential damage to the grasped object, minimum energy consumption and optimal load distribution in actuators. However, when considering manipulators with structural flexibility, minimizing the deflections of the mechanical components becomes a highly desirable objective. In this paper, we propose a force distribution scheme based on a local minimum of the strain energy stored in the elastic links of the cooperating manipulators. Numerical example are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme.

Considering slippage in the end-effectors of a set of two cooperating manipulators grasping an object, this paper presents a new dynamic modeling and control synthesis of grasping phenomenon. This dynamic modeling is based on a new formulation for frictional contact where equality and inequality equations in the standard Coulomb Friction model are converted all to a single second order differential equation with switching coefficients. Accuracy of the friction model is verified by comparing its results with those of SimMech. Then equations of motion are reduced to conventional form for nonconstrained system. Assuming the new reduced order system to be BIBO, internal stability of the whole system is analyzed. In the control synthesis of the system a multi phase controller is utilized to control the trajectory tracking of the object as well as slippage control of the end-effectors on the object surfaces. For the proposed controller, a proof is given for system stability and its performance and robustness are shown numerically. The results show superiority of the method and its desirable and excellent performance.
