Modeling of Configuration-Dependent Flexible Joints for a Parallel Robot

This paper provides a method to determine the variable flexible joint parameters which are dependent on configurations for a PRS Parallel Robot. Based on the continuous force approach, virtual springs were used between the joint components to simulate the joint flexibility. The stiffness matrix of t...
