Transferring optimal contact skills to flexible manipulators by reinforcement learning

Dynamic modelling and vibration suppression of a single-link flexible manipulator with two cables

“…The natural frequencies of the single-link flexible manipulator with both copper and aluminum are calculated and listed in Tab. 4. In comparison with the results in Tab.…”

“…The dynamical motion of these robots is thus performed with a limited working speed due to large mass and inertia of bulky links. With the development of new materials and manufacturing technologies, flexible manipulators have attracted the interest of many researchers for the advantages of fast motions, large-scale manipulations and low manufacturing costs [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The compliance of flexible links can save energy, simplify the mechanical design and improve performance during a material manipulation.…”

Dynamic Modeling of a Flexible-Link Flexible-Joint System with Tip Mass Considering Stiffening Effect

“…This feature leads to a dynamic motion of the mechanical system in a relatively limited working speed because of the large mass-inertia of bulky structures. With the development of new composite materials and advanced manufacturing methods, the mechanical flexibility of robotic manipulators has attracted many researchers with the merits of high-speed motion, largescale manipulation, and low manufacturing cost [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
