An approximation method for stiffness calculation of robotic arms with hybrid open- and closed-loop kinematic chains

Industrial robots have advantages of large workspace, compact structure, and good flexibility, but the stiffness of the robot is relatively weak due to the compliance of reducers and its series structure. In this article, a five-degree-of-freedom robot with non-backlash driving is presented. A paral...
