This paper presents a design process based on an advanced flexible robots modeling tool associated with realistic actuators models and pre-defined control architecture. This process implements dedicated feasibility and performance indicators, which are used to evaluate a design and its sensitivity on the considered parameters. The proposed approach is illustrated with theoretical and experimental results obtained with the YAKA robot.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
