An Experimental Study on the Dynamics of a 3-RRR Flexible Parallel Robot

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study on the dynamics of flexible parallel robots. First, a theoretical study on the dynamic modeling and numerical solution of parallel robots with flexible links is introduced briefly. Second, the experiment setup that includes the test-bed mechanism of a 3-RRR flexible parallel robot and the hardware and software structures of a control system are then developed. Finally, the experimental study is presented to show the good agreement between the theoretical analysis and experimental results.
