Controlled fluid recirculation for efficient hydraulic actuation of conservative loads
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1983-06)
Hydraulic actuators have traditionally found application in servo systems requiring high bandwidth, high power per unit mass, and permitting low overall energy efficiency, the presence of hydraulic oil, and a rather bulky ...
Controller Design for Flexible Distributed Parameter Mechanical Arms via Combined State Space and Frequency Domain Techniques
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1983-12)
The potential benefits of the ability to control more flexible mechanical arms are discussed. A justification is made in terms of speed of movement. A new controller design procedure is then developed to provide this ...
An approach to the minimum time control of a simple flexible arm
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1983-11)
To enable faster robot arm motion one might reduce the arm weight and use a minimum time control. Light arms will be flexible. A simple example of a light arm is a single beam, rotating about one end, and subject to bending. ...
Recursive Lagrangian Dynamics of Flexible Manipulator Arms via Transformation Matrices
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1983-12)
Improving the performance of most engineering systems requires the ability to model the system’s behavior with improved accuracy. The evolution of the mechanical arm from teleoperator and crane to present day industrial ...
