About the Newton–Euler method

Abstract

The Newton᎐Euler method for the calculation of the manipulator dynamics is analyzed, using a general form of the Euler equation for the rigid body. The proposed approach allows the direct resolution of manipulator problems which previously seemed to need specific methods to be tackled. The coordinate systems role and the validity of the obtained equations for revolute and prismatic joints are clarified.

“…Many traditional methods are used for forward and inverse dynamics analysis, such as Newton-Euler formulation [5], Lagrange formulation [6], virtual work principle [1], and some other methods. The model used in RecurDyn was found based on Newton-Euler dynamic theory.…”
