Springer Perturbation Techniques for Flexible Manipulators 138

Explore the fundamental principles of robotic mechanisms with Perturbation Techniques for Flexible Manipulators. This volume, part of the Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, provides a deep look into the structure and control of spatial mechanisms. A manipulator is defined by a series of links connected by revolute or prismatic joints. This text examines how these components form open chains and how various configurations are achieved through pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical actuation. Because a robot arm is distinguished from other spatial mechanisms by its reprogrammability, this book highlights the role of the controller as an integral part of the arm's description. Designed for those studying electrical engineering and robotics, this book covers the essential mechanics of how links and joints function together to create complex robotic movements. It serves as a technical resource for understanding the movement and control of flexible manipulators in engineering applications.
