“…While dynamic approaches, including the Lagrange method (Liu and Yu (2008), Wu et al (2014)), Newton-Euler method (Jalón and Bayo (1994), Zhang et al (2009)), Kane method (Cheng and Shan (2012)), principle of virtual work (Sokolov and Xirouchakis (2007)) and (Zhao et al (2009)), and screw theory (Gallardo-Alvarado et al (2008)) are commonly used and applied in manipulator dynamics (Horn and Linge (1995), Wu and Bai (2016)), this work adopts the principle of virtual work, under the consideration to eliminate the internal forces and effectively reduce the computational complexity.…”
