Real-time compensation of static deflections in robotic manipulators

The focus of this work is the real-time prediction and compensation of static deflections in robotic manipulator arms. A general manipulator deflection model is developed based on static beam theory and robot kinematics. An optimization technique is proposed to determine the stiffness of the manipul...
