Abstract

This chapter gives an introduction to robotic manipulator modeling. Initially, the background material related to coordinate transformation, homogeneous transformation matrices, and Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) parameters are discussed. Forward and inverse kinematics of robotic manipulators are discussed next followed by a section on rigid-body dynamics. Then, simple one and two degrees-of-freedom robotic manipulators are modeled and their equations of motion are derived using Lagrange, Newton-Euler and bond graph approaches to show their equivalences. Bond graph model of a three degrees-of-freedom ground manipulator is developed in details. Flexible manipulators are considered next. Further, a planar cooperative manipulator is discussed with its controller design and experimental implementation. Finally, a haptic robot, an example application and experimental implementation of a motor rehabilitation system with visual and sensual feedback are demonstrated.
