Robots are often used in industry to handle flexible objects, such as frames, leather goods, thin plates and rubber tubes. Most of the earlier studies dealt with handling of rigid objects and only a few have focused on the collaborative manipulators handling flexible objects. Therefore in this book two rigid robot manipulators collaboratively moving the flexible object in the desired trajectory and also suppressing the vibration of the object are considered for the study. The complete system of dynamic equations is obtained with the help of derived kinematic relations and dynamic equations of...
