Flexible Robot Manipulators: Modelling, Simulation and Control

[photo: Book Jacket]

Edited by M.O. Tokhi and A.K.M. Azad

This book reports recent and new developments in modelling, simulation and control of flexible robot manipulators. The material is presented in four distinct components: (i) A range of modelling approaches including classical techniques based on the Lagrange equation formulation, parametric approaches based on linear input/output models using system identification techniques and neuro-modelling approaches, (ii) numerical modelling/simulation techniques for dynamic characterisation of flexible manipulators using the finite difference, finite element, symbolic manipulation and customised software techniques. (iii) a range of open-loop and closed-loop control techniques based on classical and modern intelligent control methods including soft-computing and smart structures for flexible manipulators, and (iv) software environments for analysis, design, simulation and control of flexible manipulators.
