Hybrid polymer composite material for robotic manipulator subject to single link flexibility

摘要

The aim is to utilise a light-weight hybrid composite material for single-link robotic manipulator purpose to reduce its weight. The numerical analysis is carried out for competing and replacement of the rigid one. During the working condition of the light-weight structural soft robotic manipulator, as a consequence of static and dynamics forces, there is a distributed dynamic deflection of end effectors. In a working volume, without overshooting the end point of the robot must reach a specified point with high accuracy. This accuracy is affected by link deflection due to bending and vibration; this needs to be minimised. The hybrid composite single-link robotic manipulator with mechanical flexibility was taken as for numerical study analysis. This paper deals with the precise control of a light-weight soft manipulator made by a hybrid polymer composite material, by using classical and more recent approaches proposed for the light-weight soft manipulator and control purpose.
