Description

In this paper, we propose an efficient recursive computation of the nonlinear computed torque law of flexible manipulators. The algorithm is based on the generalized Newton-Euler model of flexible manipulators and can be considered as a generalization of the computed torque control algorithm of rigid robots proposed by Luh-Walker-Paul (1980). It is programmed using Mathematica to get automatically an efficient customized symbolic model with reduced number of operations.
