SUMMARY

When a rigid manipulator is mounted upon a mobile system that has some flexibility (a suspension, position controller, etc) the induced oscillations through the base complicate the use of simple end-point feedback. This work investigates the robustness of such aggregate systems to those induced oscillations originating in the flexible base. BlueJeans Link: https://bluejeans.com/543842592
