Discrete-time modeling of flexible robots

A procedure to derive discrete-time dynamic models of robots having flexible links is presented. Approximate models of one- and two-link robotic manipulators, generated by means of the symbolic algebraic manipulation language MACSYMA, are reported. The approach is based on previous works of the authors concerning the derivation of continuous-time models of elastic robots and discrete-time models of rigid robots.<<ETX>>
