" The 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 …

A manipulator system with a large workspace volume and high payload capacity has greater
link flexibility than do typical industrial robots and teleoperators. If link flexibility is significant …

A manipulator, or'robot', consists of a series of bodies (links) connected by joints to form a
spatial mechanism. Usually the links are connected serially to form an open chain. The joints …

In this article, a nonlinear dynamic model of a flexible manipulator is derived through finite
element method associated with Lagrange approach. The flexible manipulator is modeled …

This paper presents an intelligent-based control strategy for tip position tracking control of a
single-link flexible manipulator. Motivated by the well-known inverse dynamics control …
