Overview
This volume will guide professional engineers whose disciplines include: robotics, controls, mechanical, electrical, computer science and electrical, etc., to a better, or first understanding of how to develop and control robotics or other systems with inherent or desirable structural flexibility. Furthermore, senior and graduate mechanical, electrical, and computer science engineering students, particular those new to a government or private sector research institution, will benefit from the academic study of this volume. In addition, it will guide the reader through a review and application of several necessary advanced mathematics, engineering and scientific principles.

With the goal of demonstrating the value of solid applied mathematical theory applied to real world hardware problems, this text presents a compilation of research and development findings in flexible robot dynamics and controls at Sandia National Laboratories. Covering modeling, simulation, control design, input shaping, and optimization, mathematical techniques are presented with reference to a overhead gantry robot problem within each chapter. Chapters cover quadratic modes for modeling flexible link robots, techniques of system identification and input shaping for path planning; linear feedback control; and robot nonlinear control techniques.
