Abstract

We now study the dynamics of serial-chain multibody systems and derive their equations of motion. The approach builds upon the single rigid body dynamics and serial-chain kinematics developments in Chaps. 2 and 3. The component link-level equations of motion are assembled into compact system-level operator versions of the equations of motion using the serial-chain mass matrix. Algorithms for the system inverse dynamics are also discussed.
