Rotation-joint stiffness modeling for industrial robots considering contacts

Joint flexibility has a major impact on the motion accuracy of a robotic end effector, particularly at high speeds. This work proposes a technique of precisely modeling the torsional stiffness of the rotational joints for the industrial robots. This technique considers the contacts that exist in the...
